Answer;

Waxes forms protective layers on plants and animals that repel water. beeswax, birds feathers, carnauba wax, jojoba oil, lanolin.

Explanation;

-Waxes are nonpolar lipids that form protective layers on plants and animals. For example, waxes cover the feathers of some aquatic birds to keep the feathers dry. On the other hand, plants often have leaves coated with waxes to prevent water from evaporating off the plant surface.

-Because of their hydrophobic nature, waxes prevent water from sticking on the surface of these structures.

The water repellant properties of waxes is very useful in the leaves of some plants, in the feathers of birds and also in cuticle of insects. Waxes in plant leaves reduce the amount of water that is lost by the leaves. The wax that is present in the birds' feather prevent them from getting wet with water.

  • In the formation of a fold, compressive forces acts towards each other and causes the buckling of a rock mass.
  • This leads to the formation of series of synclines and anticlines.
  • The synclines are the bowl shaped basins that sags downward.

A 2 L bottle of soda has a volume of 2000 cm³. What is the volume of the bottle in cubic meters?
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

The answer is

<h2>0.002 cubic meters</h2>

Explanation:

To convert it into m³ we use the following conversion

<h3>1 {cm}^{3}  = 1 \times  {10}^{ - 6}  {m}^{3}</h3>

From the question the value is 2000 cm³

To convert it multiply the value by

1 × 10^- 6m³

That's

<h3>2000 \times 1 \times  {10}^{ - 6}  {m}^{3}</h3>

We have the final answer as

<h3>0.002 cubic meters</h3>

Hope this helps you
