strength, and adhesion.
Tensile strength is the maximum tension that a continuous column of any
material can withstand without breaking.
Adhesion - ANSWER A significant role in the capillary ascent of water in tiny
diameter conduits.
Bulk flow - answer Caused by changes in water pressure
Diffusion - Answer Caused by differences in water concentrations.A solute
molecule moves directly from an area of high concentration to a region of low
concentration.
Fick's First Law - ANSWER The diffusion equation, J = -D * A * (delta)C * l-
1, applies to both solute and gas diffusion.
Osmosis - Answer Diffusion involves the movement of water across a
selectively permeable barrier and the controlled movement of solvent molecules
through a semi-permeable membrane.
