WATER

Solids will usually sink when placed in their own liquids with the exception of water

Explanation:

Ice (the solid form of water) floats on water that is cooler than 4 degrees centigrade. This is unlike any other material and this phenomenon has been referred to as the ‘water anomaly’.

Most substances will sink in their own liquid because the solid form is denser than the amount of their own liquid that they displace when immersed. This is because the particles in the solid are closely packed together hence there are more particles per volume than in the liquid form.  

Water however, expands at temperatures below 4 degrees and hence ice is less dense than water at 4 degrees and below. The particles in ice are farther apart than particles of water at 4 degrees and below. There is, therefore, more particles per volume in the liquid form of water than in ice – making ice less dense.

Commensalism = barnacles on the back of a whale.

Explanation:

The stork is a predator since it feeds on another organism completely (the prey). The ticks are parasites as they feed off nutrients from a living animal. The barnacles and the whale are commensals as the barnacles are carried about at no harm to the whale.

Which of these layers will the water move easily? Check all that apply.
Pani-rosa [81]

Hi!


The correct options would be B & E.


Rock and granite are hard and tough materials that are allow very minor seepage of water, which is close to negligible which is why these materials have been employed as construction material in buildings.

Clay is relatively more permeable to water as compared to granite and rock, but still does not allow water to flow through easily as it has a low porosity and permeability to water.

Soil & Organic Layer (fertilizer), allow easy passage of water through them due to high porosity.


Hope this helps!

Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

B) Available energy decreases as trophic levels increase.

Explanation:

Each time an organism consumes energy, it absorbs it. When it dies the energy is released and only some of it is consumed the organism that eats the first organism. This continues and by the end there is very little energy left because most of it was released into the world.
