What is the cell wall / chloroplast or central vacuole?
It is a term that describes water's ability to climb narrow tubes against gravity.
What is capillary action?
It is a property that makes lipids insoluble in water.
What is hydrophobicity?
It is what happens to proteins when they are denatured.
How do proteins lose their shape and function?
It is the process in which DNA is copied into mRNA.
