a element is a pure substance when cannot be broken down. it consists of atoms, protons, neutrons, and electrons.
a mixture is a a substance made by mixing other substance together.

Answer from: cw1242605

Compound: any substance composed of identical molecules consisting of atoms of two or more chemical elements.

Element: is a pure substance which cannot be broken down by chemical means.

Mixture: is a substance which consist of two or more elements or compounds not chemically combined together.

Answer from: Quest

water molecules stay close to each other through cohesion, the collective action of hydrogen bonds between water molecules. cohesion plants draw water upwards from the root through the stem's transport tubes (xylem) to the leaf. this transport occurs even in large trees and against gravity. transpiration, evaporation of water from plant leaves, creates a tension on water molecules being pulled up from the stem and roots.

water also has high (the attraction of one substance to another) properties because of its polar nature. adhesion of water molecules to plant cell walls counteract gravity while water is transported from roots to leaves.

water exhibits a very high surface tension when compared to other liquids. surface tension is a property of a liquid that holds the surface together and allows it to resist an external force. by capillary action, the water forms concave menisci inside the pores. the high surface tension of water pulls the concavity outwards, generating enough force to lift water from the roots to the leaves of plants.

thus, cohesion, along with adhesion and surface tension creates a capillary action that keeps water molecules interacting and moving through the plants out to the leaf cells.

therefore, option d) is the correct answer.

To find the work done, the force exerted and distance moved are multiplied. a couch is moved twice before you are happy with its placement. the same force was used to move the couch both times. if more work is done the first time it is moved, what do you know about the distance it was moved? a) when more work was done, the couch was moved the same distance. b) when more work was done, the couch was moved less. c) when more work was done, the couch was moved further. d) when more work was done, the couch wasn't moved at all.
