The gecko's feet contain molecules that are attracted to the molecules on the surface.

Geckos are lizards which belongs to reptile group. They are found in warm climatic regions of the world. Geckos and some other animals can climb smooth surfaces because of presence of Van der waal forces of attraction between the molecules of gecko's feet with molecules of the surface. The force of attraction is generated due to fluctuations or differences in charge present in molecules of feet and that of surface. The charge fluctuations generally comes into sync and generate attractive force.

<h3>What are the features of Geckos ?</h3>

Most geckos are small, soft-skinned reptiles that are often nocturnal in behaviour. A small, robust body, a big head, and often well-developed limbs are other features they have. Each limb's tips are frequently fitted with digits that have adhesive pads.

  • The gecko possesses a variety of adaptive traits that help it avoid or confound predators. If a predator catches the gecko by the tail, the tail can be cut. One of the most well-known characteristics of the species is this. Some geckos may also alter their colour to better fit their surroundings.

Help please and are the ones that already answered to are correct ?
mixer [17]

Yes, all of your answers are correct except for number 12. Instead I would say a food chain outlines who eats whom but a food web is all of the food chains in an ecosystem.

Primary consumers are basically herbivores, such as squirrels, rabbits, crickets, etc.

Secondary consumers are carnivores/omnivores, animals that eat other animals such as foxes, snakes, and owls.

Higher order consumers are animals that can eat more things, like humans for example, because we eat animals that are bigger than us like cows but we also eat plants.

Omnivores are animals that eat meat and plants, such as humans and mice because according to your food web, mice also eat meat.

I can’t see the picture very well because it’s blurry, but i think the owl eats some kind of animal that looks like a frog and snakes, so if the owl is removed the frog animal thing and snakes would increase.

for the last question, i would say

Ne4ueva [31]

Explanation:

The atomic number of an element is the number of protons an atom contains. This number helps differentiate one atom from the other. It is the basis by which elements are arranged on the periodic table.

The periodic table of elements follows the periodic law which shows that elements are arranged based on their atomic numbers.

 Sodium Na;

  Protons  = 11

  Electrons  = 11

  Neutrons  = 12
