The _____ of water molecules explains how some insects can walk on water

Biology
1 answer:
Minchanka [31]3 years ago

<span>Water has a surface skin. Some insects are able to generate tiny bubbles under their bodies which makes them buoyant enough to not break thru the water's skin. This skin is also known as surface tension. </span><span>Some bugs and small objects (pins or paperclips, etc) can rest on the surface of the water due to surface tension. Water molecules are bipolar and attract each other forming a skin. The bug or paperclip make tiny depressions in the water skin which provides buoyancy. A detergent will ruin the water tension (because it is a wetting agent) and the bug or paperclip will sink.</span><span>

Stimulus - touch receptors - ___ - ___ - ___ - ___ - response
masha68 [24]
<h2>Answer</h2>

Stimulus ➡ Touch Receptor ➡ Sensory Nerve cell ➡ Relay nerve cell ➡ Muscle ➡Response

<h2>Explanation</h2>
  • When a body touches a hot or very cold body, a stimulus is generated.
  • Touch receptors convert this stimulus into a nerve impulse and transmit it to the sensory neurons located in the spinal cord (CNS)  via peripheral nerves.
  • The impulse travels across a synapse to relay neurons
  • Relay neuron passes impulse across the second synapse to motor neurons.
  • Now impulse travels along motor neuron to reach the effector (muscle)
  • Muscle contract and hand is withdrawn quickly (Response)

denis23 [38]

Answer:

o The beavers will not have a suitable habitat available and will gradually decline in number.

Explanation:

According to this question, an earthquake that occurs near a river system weakens a dam wall built by beavers, which are aquatic rodents, and causes the dam to collapse. This initial earthquake will damage the habitat of these aquatic animals (beavers), which is barricaded by the walls built by them around the dam over time.

The walls prevent the constant flow of water but when the walls of the dam collapses, the water in the dam begins to flow excessively i.e floods. This causes the loss of habitat of beavers, hence, resulting in the declination of number
