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

Biology
1 answer:
Minchanka [31]3 years ago
5 0
<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>

If we are exposed to sunlight and are increasing the use of CO2, then there must be a higher concentration of glucose in the leaf cells. Glucose is a product of photosynthesis.

A word for the first settlements, formed when humans began to domesticate plants and animals
Tamiku [17]
<span>"Village" is the term used to refer to the first settlements formed as humans began domesticating plants and animals.

A village is comprised of a clustered human settlement or community, with a few hundred to a few thousand people. It is typically smaller than a town but larger than a hamlet and is usually a permanent settlement, with dwellings spaced closely from each other. The surrounding lands were usually farmed, but in the case of traditional fishing villages, they were located adjacent to fishing grounds as well. </span>
