A) Surface tension attracts water molecules inward.
Dmitrij [34]3 years ago

Answer;

A Surface tension attracts water molecules inward.

Explanation;

-Due to surface tension the water molecules are pulled towards one side due to the surface hence a spherical sale is formed.

-Surface tension is responsible for the shape of liquid droplets. Although easily deformed, droplets of water tend to be pulled into a spherical shape by the cohesive forces of the surface layer. In the absence of other forces, including gravity, drops of virtually all liquids would be approximately spherical.

In comparison with the renal cortex, fluid in the proximal tubule is hyperosmotic.
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

The proximal tubule fluid is more hyperosmotic than the renal cortex, but this does not influence what is causing the acid-base disruption.

<h3>How does hyperosmotic work?</h3>

In the extracellular space, the first drop in temperature results in the formation of crystals, which creates a hyperosmotic environment that draws water out of the cells and causes them to contract. Organelles & biological membranes are damaged as a result of inner crystal formation as the temperature drops.

<h3>What transpires inside a hyperosmotic environment to a cell?</h3>

A cell submerged in a 10% dextrose hyperosmotic , osmotic pressure solution would initially lose area as water departs and then start gaining proportion as glucose is delivered through into cell as moisture follow by osmosis. This is because water crosses cell surfaces more quickly than solutes do.

Some people have low levels of calcium circulating in the blood, a condition known as hypocalcemia. while for many this disorder
kap26 [50]

Answer:

low level of calcium would result in fewer signals sent between pre and post synaptic cells.

Explanation:

The calcium has a main role in signal transmission mechanism and here is the mechanism :

1-the impulse reaches the synapse (depolarization which is a voltage change).

2-the voltage gated calcium channels open and let calcium flow into the cell.

3-the calcium causes the synaptic vesicles to rupture and release chemical transmitters which cross the synaptic cleft and finally bind to receptors on the post synaptic cell (transmitting the signal)

so it's obvious that if calcium concentration decreases, the signal transmission also decreases.

How long ago did water form on earth
slega [8]

4.6 billion years ago

The study pushes back the clock on the origin of Earth's water by hundreds of millions of years, to around 4.6 billion years ago, when all the worlds of the inner solar system were still forming. Scientists had suspected that our planet formed dry, with high-energy impacts creating a molten surface on the infant Earth.

i hope this helped, have a nice day! (o:
