Cohesion, adhesion and surface tension are different from each other. Adhesion is used in xylem. Surface tension enables an insect to sit on water.
<u>Explanation:</u>
The force of attraction between the molecules of the same type is called cohesion. The force of attraction between the molecules of different type is called adhesion. Tendency of fluid surfaces to shrink to minimum possible area due to the attraction between the liquid molecules is called surface tension.
Adhesion is used in xylem. In xylem water molecules move from the roots to different parts of the plant through the xylem tubes. The adhesive force between the water molecules and xylem walls make the movement of water possible.
Surface tension enables an insect to sit on the surface of a liquid. Due to surface tension the water surface stretches like a membrane due to the higher attractive force between the water molecules.
Answer:
c. Two sister chromatids did not separate into the proper daughter cells during anaphase.
Explanation:
The observed cell is undergoing mitosis which does not include separation of homologous chromosomes. During anaphase of mitosis, two sister chromatids of each chromosome separate from each other. They move to opposite poles. This results in equal distribution of two complete sets of chromosomes to each daughter cell.
However, the failure of two sister chromatids of a chromosome during anaphase would lead to the formation of two abnormal daughter cells. One of the daughter cells would have one extra chromosome (2n+1) while the other would lack one chromosome from the diploid set (2n-1).
Answer:
*Sensory adaptation* is the common adaptation in all three sense. Sensory adaptation is the process in which changes in the sensitivity of sensory receptors occur in relation to the stimulus. All senses are believed to experience sensory adaptation.
Explanation:
This adaptation is shared as well as used differently as explained below.
1) Hearing+balance :In terms of hearing, our ears adapt to loud sound as it hits the small bones located in the inner ear. The loud sound leads the inner ear bone/s to contract. This contraction causes the reduction or delay of transmission of sound vibrations to the inner ear. Detection of the vibrations follows. However, this process of auditory adaptation usually does not work very well with loud sounds that are sudden or instantaneous. Examples of these sounds are gun shots or explosions
2)Smell :Low concentrations of several chemicals present in the air can be detected by the sensory receptors in the nose. These chemicals that we quickly detect include those in perfumes or air fresheners
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option C. The purpose of a controlled experiment is to examine whether one variable causes a change in another. A<span>n independent variable is the only factor that is allowed to be adjusted, with the dependent variable as the factor that the independent variable will affect.</span>
Answer:
D. In an ocean heated by volcanic activity
Explanation:
Most of Earth was covered in water, early organisms weren't evolved enough to walk on land at the time. There are some organisms that feed off of volcanic activity and use it as an energy resource and would adapt to the heat.
<em>"Hot spots create volcanoes on the seafloor. If these volcanoes rise above sea level to become islands, and if they occur in tropical waters, coral reefs will form on them. Since the volcanoes are cones, the reef forms in a circle around the volcano."</em>

<em>"Discovered only in 1977, hydrothermal vents are home to dozens of previously unknown species. Huge red-tipped tube worms, ghostly fish, strange shrimp with eyes on their backs and other unique species thrive in these extreme deep ocean ecosystems found near undersea volcanic chains."</em>
