1 Blood test. 2  This type of pregnancy test can only be done at a doctorâs office. 3  It takes longer than a urine test to get results, but it can detect a pregnancy earlier than a urine test (about 10 days after conception, compared to typically 2 weeks or more for a urine test).
As water molecules evaporate from plant leaves, they attract the water molecules still in the plant, helping to pull water up through the stems from the roots. The combination of transpiration and capillary action delivers the water from the bottom to the top of a plant.
1) When liquid moves through thin tubes. 2) When liquid moves through something that is full of little holes (like a sponge) Capillary action is a result of the surface tension of liquids. One example of capillary action is that inside a drinking straw left in a cup of water. What holds the water together and to the straw is a little stronger than gravity, so the water will rise inside the straw a little higher than the rest of the water. Another example is putting a sponge in a puddle of water.
