The log will float on the water because his density is lower than the liquid, so it will stay at the top due to Archimedes' principle.

<span>Archimedes' principle is a physical law that describes the upward force (the vertical thrust) experienced by any body immersed in a fluid (liquid or gas). This force is strongly related to the density of both the fluid and the body.

You can try the experience at home, by using an object that has a lower density than the water like the sunflower oil, you will see that it will stay at the top of the water too.

Plant-like photosynthesis that releases oxygen occurs in

Llana [10]

Answer:

A. Cyanobacteria.

Explanation:

Both cyanobacteria and plants use water as an electron donor for the light phase of photosynthesis and make ATP and NADPH. The ATP and NADPH are used in the Calvin cycle to fix the atmospheric CO2 into glucose. The use of water as an electron donor releases oxygen gas as a by-product. This photosynthesis wherein the use of water as an electron donor releases oxygen gas as a by-product is also called oxygenic photosynthesis.
