Insects, such as water striders, and spiders, such as fisher spiders, can glide or scamper across the surface of water. These critters are small enough that their weight can be supported almost entirely by surface tension, the relatively weak forces that hold water molecules together.
Surface tension of water helps creatures(mostly of insecta class such as water striders) to walk on water. ... it also helps water to move up the xylem tissue of higher plants without breaking up
<span>Cells responsible of making energy and performing respiration within the cell. Depending on what type of organism they are found at, they can be known as Mitochondria, if they are in animals; and if they are in plants, Chloroplasts.
Mitochondria create energy for the cell by breaking down sugars, fats, and other fuels consumed by the cell.
Chloroplasts, on the other hand, since they are found at plants, convert sunlight into energy.</span>
<span>Let's look at all the statements:Which of the following statements is true?
Parts of an ecosystem only include biotic factors such as plants and animals. - this is not true, it also includes abiotic factors, such as stones
If a common plant in an ecosystem becomes diseased, the ecosystem may become unbalanced. - this is the true statement! it could be a source of food for other animals, and thus it could influence the population of other species
Abiotic factors include decomposers such as fungi and bacteria. - this is false, those are biotic factors.
Tundras have a high diversity of species. - this is not true - compared to the rain forest, for example, tundras are not very diverse</span>
The statement is - True.
The production of the nuclear energy by the nuclear reactors requires lot of water. The water's role is to constantly keep cool the reactors because if they overheat there can be a disaster of big proportions.
Because of the heating up of the water the water changes its properties slightly. Those changes have big environmental impact, easily seen in the local flora and fauna in close proximity to the nuclear reactors. There is way to big of a percentage of bad mutations among the flora and fauna where the water is released from the nuclear reactors, where very often there's animals with either more or less extremities, two heads, weird growth and shape of the plants etc.
Answer:
Explanation:
Yes, for a couple of reasons.
1. Carbon connects easily with other carbons.
2. Carbon forms chemical that can change and connect with other carbons even in biology or especially in Biology. If you take a brown seen and plant it where it can get water and soil nutrients, to will come up as a green plant. Think about the chemistry that goes into that. Not only that, but there are mechanisms that tell the upper part of the plant that the roots can't supply any more growth. Isn't that something? All made from Carbon.
3. The human body is a mass of Carbon based chemicals and all cells there can have different functions. Amazing isn't it? I'm a fan of the diversity of our planet and its growth.
