Answer:

when the water freezes, its molecules are perfectly ordered and separated from each other at the same distance. This generates, that in the ice there are less water molecules in a certain volume, that is, they occupy more space.

The ice (frozen water) when expanding, causes its density to become lower than in a liquid state. For this reason the ice floats in the water and allows life under frozen lakes.

Answer

RIBOSOMES on the ROUGH ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM

Explanation:

This is the site of protein synthesis usually find attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum or  freely on the cystosol,

When they are attached to the  endoplasmic reticulum they appeared as back dots which makes the surface of ER to appear rough, hence the name ROUGH ER. Smooth ER, lacks Ribosomes, and therefore appears smooth,

Ribosomes  are made up of PROTEIN AND RNA.

They are 25nm in diameter;when viewed under high magnification, where theymade up of  two sub-units  the small and large units.

The protein synthesize by the Ribosomes are passed into the sacs  of Rough E.R  for transportation,

Basically, a complete Ribosomes is refereed to as 70S for prokaryotic ribosomes and 80S for Eukaryotic Ribisomes.This refers to their sedimentation Co-efficient in Svedberg units,the Eukaryotes sediment faster than the Prokaroytes
