Since water has a strong surface tension, what do you think would happen if water had weak surface tension

Biology
1 answer:
steposvetlana [31]3 years ago
5 0

Surface tension<span> is the property of the surface of a liquid which allows it to resist an external force. It is due to the cohesive nature (stickiness and clumpability) of the water molecules. </span>Since water has a strong surface tension:

<span>1)      </span>The surface tension of water provides the necessary wall tension for the formation of bubbles with water

<span>2)      </span>It is responsible for the shape of liquid droplets, too

<span>3)      </span>Small objects will "float" on the surface of a fluid, as long as the object cannot break through and separate the top layer of water molecules

If surface tension is weak, the reverse happens. Bubbles will come from round to spherical, small objects will not float, w<span>ater will fall as it is, without forming spherical droplets and will not immediately spread. </span>

In addition to naming species, Linnaeus also grouped species into a hierarchy of increasingly inclusive categories. The largest
Semmy [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is D) domain

Explanation:

The father of taxonomy is Linnaeus. Taxonomy helps in classify and naming organisms. The modern taxonomy has eight levels of classification. Domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species.

Domain is the highest level of classification so it is the largest category that would include closely related species. When we go from domain towards species the number of similarities increase and number of organism decrease and vice versa is true when we move from species to domain. So the right answer is domain.

All of the following are functions of the peripheral nervous system except
mixas84 [53]

The right option is; it interprets signals from the external environment  

The peripheral nervous system (PNS) is made up of all parts of the nervous system, except the brain and spinal cord (parts of the central nervous system). The peripheral nervous system functions as a channel through which neural signals are transferred from and to the central nervous system. Two types of neurons (sensory and motor neurons) functions in the PNS. The motor neurons transfer neural signals from the central nervous system directly to various muscles, glands, and organs (effectors) throughout the body.
