Which statement describes an effect of natural
selection on a species?
(1) it favors the survival of certain members
of the species and results in a change in
the proportion of individuals with highly
adaptive traits.
(2) it provides feedback mechanisms for members
of a species and results in a change in the
proportion of individuals with homeostatic
controls.
(3) it leads to reproduction with other species,
increasing the number of different adaptations.
(4) it increases competition between populations
that occupy different niches, increasing the
chance of extinction of the less-adapted
species.

answer:

the water molecules are transferred from the roots to the stem or top parts of the tall tree because of important properties of water which are adhesion, cohesion and capillary action. cohesion is the property of water molecules keeps water molecules in a combined state by sharing of bonds between them at the atomic level. adhesion allows the interaction of water molecules with other substances or substrate. adhesion will cause the attachment of water molecules to the wall of the vessel (xylem) of the plant. capillary action occurs when the adhesive force to the vessel wall is stronger than the cohesive force between water molecules. capillary action mimics the transfer of water from a tube or pipe. in this way water utilizes its property to transfer water from down to top level of the plant.
