the tension of the surface film of a liquid caused by the attraction of the particles in the surface layer by the bulk of the liquid, which tends to minimize surface area.

Explanation:

Insects walking on water. Floating a needle on the surface of the water. Rainproof tent materials where the surface tension of water will bridge the pores in the tent material.

Phosphorus is atmotic number 15 When it comes to bonding with other atoms, what is phosphorus most likely to do?
lorasvet [3.4K]
Phosphorus has an electronic configuration in the simple form 2,8,5 and a spdf configuration of 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p³.

The valence electrons in phosphorus (the electrons available for bonding) are 5.  As a result, an atom of phosphorus shares its electrons with another atom to form COVALENT bonds.  This is ideal since it would take a high amount of energy to release these five electrons, and it would be unlikely for atoms to lose 5 electrons to donate to phosphorus.

Which of these are features of prokaryotes? circular DNA molecules and small ribosomes straight DNA molecules and small ribosome
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

The features of prokaryotes include circular DNA molecules and small ribosomes.

Explanation:

Prokaryotes are organisms having only one cell (unicellular). In their cells, an organized nucleus is absent along with other membrane-bound organelles. Examples include bacteria and archaea. The prokaryotic cell mainly consists of the plasma membrane, cytoplasm, DNA and ribosomes. Some prokaryotes have special structures such as flagella, pili, fimbriae, etc. Flagella help in the locomotion and pili or fimbriae are used for the attachment to host cells and other surfaces.

Their cells contain large quantities of genetic material (DNA and RNA). A single, large circular strand of DNA is found in the central part of the cell (nucleoid) and contains most of the genes. The ribosomes found in prokaryotes are smaller in size. A large number of ribosomes are present inside a prokaryotic cell. The shape and composition of ribosomes are slightly different than those in eukaryotic cells.
