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>

A researcher claims that the synthesis of ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate (Pi) is essential to cellular function.
ch4aika [34]

Answer: A B C

Explanation:

The synthesis of ATPS takes place in the mitochondrial and chloro plasts of cells.It is an exergonic reaction that involves the use of energy released from influx of protons to for the catalysis of in organic phosphate and ADP by enzyme ATP Synthase in the stroma and matrix of chloroplasts and mitochondrial respectively.

The 3 bonds that connected phosphate ions to ADP to form ATP must be broken down(hydrolysis) with water to release the energy for biochemical activities of the cells.

The first bond hydrolysis releases first phosphate and ATP changed to ATP,

The second bond releases breakage changed the ADP to AMP with the release of more energy.

Which of the following is maintained across the terminals of a battery?
astraxan [27]

Answer:

Option D, both A and B

Explanation:

The potential difference is created across a battery (between its two terminal –one positive and the other one negative) when work is done to move a charge from one point to another. This potential difference is measured in volts. 1 volt is the potential difference between two points when one joule of potential energy is spent to move a charge of one coulomb from one point to the other.  

Voltage drop across a circuit is the amount of electric current lost due to resistance/ impedance with in the cables of the circuit.  

Hence, both potential difference and voltage drop occurs across the circuit,  

Option D is correct.

<h2>Cannon -Bard theory</h2>

Explanation:

  • Alone in the woods, Pedro hears a noise. He thinks he sees a bear coming toward him. His heart starts pounding and then, a moment later, he realizes how frightened he is. This sequence of events is BEST explained by the <u>Cannon-Bard t</u>heory of emotion.

According to Cannon-Bard theory, all the emotional expressions occur due to the stimulation of hypothalamic structures present in brain. This theory also states that feeling and physiological effects of an emotional stimuli occurs simultaneously.

Here, James thinks that a bear is coming, this is a stimulus. His heart starts pounding that is the physiological effect of the stimulus and the next moment he feels frightened which is a feeling.

So we conclude that in this case, the physiological effect and feeling of emotion occurred simultaneously. So these sequence of events is best explained  by Cannon-Bard's theory.

HELP ME AND I WILL HELP YOU!!!!
natita [175]

Answer No 1:

Process 1 is cellular respiration. Cellular respiration can be described as a process in which glucose and oxygen are converted into water and carbon dioxide. ATP is released by this process which is used as an energy source.

Process 2 is anaerobic respiration. It is a process which occurs in the absence  of oxygen. This process will also yield ATP.

Answer No 2:

The process 1, cellular respiration, is known to produce 38 molecules of ATP. Out of these, 2 molecules are the result from the process of glycolysis, 2 molecules arise from Kreb's cycle, rest 34 are known to occur from the electron transport chain.

The process of anaerobic respiration is known to make 2 molecules of ATP in total.
