Answer:

The correct answer is option A, water droplet found on a spider web in the morning

Explanation:

In adhesion, water molecule gets attracted towards other substances as in the case of water droplets lingering on the spider web (Option A)

In case of cohesion, a water molecule gets attracted towards other water molecule as in the case of water molecules forming dew droplet. (Option B)

Evaporation (Option C) is a physical process in which  liquid water converts to gaseous water. And also water dissolving salt into a solution (Option D) is a chemical process in which molecular arrangements are considered.

The sole of a gecko's foot is covered with millions and millions of small, dry "hairs" that make direct contact with surfaces, a
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer: Van der Waals forces

Explanation:

Van der Waals forces are weak intermolecular forces that depend on the distance between two particles. They are caused by correlations in the change in polarization between two nearby particles. To put it in other words, when a particle changes its polarization (becomes more positive on one end and more negative on the other), so does the adjacent particle, and the next one, and so on. This causes these particles to stick together weakly.

The tiny "hairs" increase the surface area of the gecko's feet in contact with the wall, which makes the bond stronger and allows it to support all of its weight.

Because experiments have shown that geckos stick well to both hydrophobic and hydrophilic surfaces, we can assume there aren't any hydrogen bonds present.

Ionic bonds can't be present either because geckos wouldn't stick to electrically neutral surfaces, as these bonds require charged molecules.

What are scientist doing to Pork to make it a GMO?
Helga [31]

Answer:

They use a gene modification technique called CRIPSR-CAS9. The pigs have been given a gene that allows them to better regulate their own body temperature, whereby they burn fat, or at which animals consume their own fat.

Explanation:

British and Chinese scientists explained that they conducted the study by adding a mouse version of the UCP1 gene used for porcine embryos, which is used to regulate body temperature characteristic of most mammals, but not ordinary pigs.

It is problematic for pigs to maintain a stable body temperature, and this is especially complicated in pigs that are cold in the winter months because they have not been able to "store" fat.

Inserting the UCP2 gene could solve this problem.

Which explains how the moon causes high tides on the earth?
Arturiano [62]
<span>The correct answer is A. The moon's gravity pushes on the earth. The push indents the earth's watery envelope and creates tidal bulges. Where the water is pushed in is high tide. There are two types of tides on Earth - high tide and low tide. Both of these types of tides are affected by the Earth's natural satellite, the Moon. Due to its gravity, everything on Earth is pushed, however, waters on Earth are under the strongest impact by this.</span>
