Answer – The Tide
The regular rising and falling of ocean water due to the gravitational pull of the Sun and Moon is known as the ocean tide. Primarily, it is the moon that is chiefly responsible for the rising and falling of ocean water; the gravity of the sun only reinforces the moon's gravity.
The answer is cohesion. The high surface tension helps the paper clip (with much higher density) float on water. The property of a liquid that allows it to resist an external force, due to cohesive nature of its molecules. Cohesion refers to the attraction of molecules for molecules of the same kind. Water molecules have strong cohesive forces due to their ability to form hydrogen bond with each other.
There are many biotic elements in a rainforest biome. But the most obvious one is trees, because biotic means living and trees are living.
The hypothesis devised in this study by the researcher is –
" White fly nymphs escape predation because of their translucent bodies."
In order to test this hypothesis, the researcher is required to conduct an experiment where two sets of white fly nymphs are formed and fed to their predators. The two set of subjects would be -
Set I – White fly nymphs with translucent bodies
Set II- White fly nymphs with translucent bodies coated with harmless dyes.
The number of predated flies in each set can be compared to deduce justification for assumed hypothesis.
Hence, option B is correct
