Capillary rise in plants helps in the transportation of water from roots to leaves. In insects, capillary action assists in the movement of liquids through small channels like tracheae and tracheoles. In sea sponges, capillary action helps in filtering and absorbing nutrients from water.

How does water rise vertically in plants?
capillary action
What is the name of the phenomenon in which thin liquids in thin tubes rise above or fall beneath their own levels?
The phenomenon is known as capillary action. It occurs due to intermolecular forces between the liquid molecules and the solid surface of the tube, causing the liquid to either rise or fall, depending on the properties of the liquid and the tube.
What is the alternate rise and fall in the level of sea water?
The rise and fall is the tides.
Why does capillary pipe have a very tiny hole?
Capillary pipes have very tiny holes to enhance the surface tension of the liquid inside, allowing it to rise or fall along the walls of the tube. This facilitates the movement of fluids in the capillary tube without the need for pumps and enables precise measurements in devices like thermometers and pressure gauges.
The rise of water in a narrow test tube is called?
The rise around the edges is called the meniscus, like capillary action this is caused by the adhesion of the liquid molecules to the walls of the container. In a large bore tube like a test tube or graduated cylinder this pulls up the edge and creates a concave meniscus, in a smaller bore tube this actually pulls the liquid toward the top of the tube.
Derive an expression for expression for rise of liquid in a capillary tube?
deduce an expression for height of a liquid in capillary tube. also write practical applications of capillary action.
Why does mercury fall downwards and water rise upwards when placed in a capillary tube?
Mercury is more dense than water.
Why do liquid rise of fall in a capillary tube?
The rise or fall of liquid in a capillary tube is due to capillary action, which is caused by intermolecular forces between the liquid and the tube material. If the liquid wets the tube, it will rise due to cohesive and adhesive forces. If the liquid does not wet the tube, it will fall due to a combination of cohesive and adhesive forces.
How does water rise vertically in plants?
capillary action
Methods of porosity meassuring for stones?
capillary rise
How does juice rise in a pipe?
due to capillary action
What is the tendency of a liquid to rise in a small diameter tube called?
The 'capillary effect'. See the link.
What we called the tendency of liquid molecules to rise spontaneously up tubes with narrow diameters?
That is capillary attraction.
What is the name of the phenomenon in which thin liquids in thin tubes rise above or fall beneath their own levels?
The phenomenon is known as capillary action. It occurs due to intermolecular forces between the liquid molecules and the solid surface of the tube, causing the liquid to either rise or fall, depending on the properties of the liquid and the tube.
What is the rise and fall of water due to gravity called?
The rise of water is called capillary action, which occurs when water travels upwards in a narrow space, such as a tube, due to adhesive and cohesive forces. The fall of water due to gravity is called drainage or runoff, where water flows downhill following the path of least resistance.
Does the equator rise or fall?
It does not rise or fall. It is an imaginary line.
