Water has special characteristics because liquid water is denser than ice and ice floats on top of liquid water​.

Answer: Option A & D

<u>Explanation:</u>

A water molecule is formed by the covalent bonding between two atoms of Hydrogen atom with one atom of Oxygen. In water, the Hydrogen bonds are the one that keeps the water molecule intact.  

When the water molecule freezes the bonding becomes weak as they are separated and set apart which makes the liquid water denser than ice. Normally a substance floats if it is less dense. Ice floats because it is less dense than water.

Answer:

(2) diffusion

Explanation:

Diffusion is a process in which molecules moves from a region of higher concentration to the region of lower concentration.

The caretaker of a farm feeds hay to the cows to procure milk from them. How much energy will the cows get from the hay?
nikitadnepr [17]

<u>Answer</u>: C) 10%.

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • The cow will get only 10% energy from the hay as the transfer of energy from a lower to a higher trophic level follows the ten percent law.
  • According to the ten percent law of energy transfer, only 10 percent of the total energy gets transferred to the next trophic level in a food chain.
  • For example, if the hay had 100 joules of energy, the cow will get only 10% of 100 J i.e 10 J energy.
  • The reason why only ten percent energy is transferred is because the rest is lost in the form of heat in the atmosphere.
