The energy of moving matter is called kinetic energy. Scientists think that the particles of all matter are in constant motion. In other words, the particles of matter have kinetic energy. The theory that all matter consists of constantly moving particles is called the kinetic theory of matter.
- If particles do not have enough kinetic energy to overcome the force of attraction between them, matter exists as a solid.
- If particles have enough kinetic energy to partly overcome the force of attraction between them, matter exists as a liquid.
- If particles have enough kinetic energy to completely overcome the force of attraction between them, matter exists as a gas.
Their skin is thin so they're prone to drying out and they cannot hold moisture in their bodies(Waterproof skin)
What determines the chemical properties is : color, hardness, luster, crystal forms, density, and cleavage.
Distillation is a process of separation of two liquids on the basis of their difference in the boiling points. There are two types of distillation process- Microscale distillation and miniscale distillation depending on the type of apparatus used for distillation.
In case of microscale distillation, microscale apparatus is used when the volume of liquid to be distilled is less than 5 ml. Whereas, in case of miniscale distillation, miniscale apparatus is used when the volume of liquid is more than 5 ml.
Hickman distilled head is used for microscale distillation whereas a bit larger vessels are used in miniscale distillation.
Micorscale and miniscale techniques have their own advantages. Both these techniques are cost effective, use less equipments and environmental friendly. Miniscale distillation is used yields more product which is easy to measure. Microscale distillation are difficult but it avoids large cumbersome distillation process and instruments.
The amoeba is a eukaryote whose bodies most often consist of a single cell.
The cells of amoebae, like those of other eukaryotes, possess certain characteristic features. For example:-
1. Their cytoplasm and cellular contents are enclosed within a cell membrane.
2. Their DNA is packaged into a central cellular compartment called the nucleus.
3. They contain specialized structures called organelles, which execute a range of cellular functions including energy production and protein transport.
