This condition is called Lanugo.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Lanugo is a condition in which a foetus is born with fine hair on their skin. This occurs along with a waxy coating on the skin called vernix caseosa on the body of the foetus.

This usually happens to babies born prematurely. Don't assume it to be a medical condition, it is a natural and a biological response to certain conditions and stages of life.

Infants usually lose the hair as they grow so Henna and Thomas have nothing to worry about, the fuzzy prenatal hair will fall out on its own.

Yuri [45]

Answer:

1. polarity

2. hydrogen bonding

3. High heat capacity

4. Adhesion

5. polarity

6. surface tension

7. high heat vaporization

8. hydrogen bonds form a rigid and stable network

9. Water is a polar substance and fat is a nonpolar substance.

10. Cohesion

Explanation:

Water is a polar molecule that is held together by hydrogen bonds to form strong cohesive forces. This accounts for the surface tension in water. Surface tension is the force acting on water that it makes to behave like a stretched elastic skin.

The polarity of water accounts for the fact that it is found in several parts of the body where it largely plays the role of a polar solvent.

High heat capacity of water enables it to function well in the area of thermoregulation in the body. High heat vaporization accounts for the fact that water helps maintain extreme temperature changes in an area.

When in solid state, the hydrogen bonded network in water becomes rigid and forms a very stable network of water molecules. Being polar, water does  not interact with fat because like dissolves like.

In plants, the attachment of water to plant roots is known as adhesion and is necessary for the capillary movement of nutrients to plants via the root.

What first spurred research into what has now become green building?
Ghella [55]
San Francisco has an opportunity to reap tremendous economic, environmental, and health benefits by adopting recent advances in “green building”—benefits that will only increase in value over time. Many standard building design, construction, operation, and renovation practices are outmoded, inefficient, costly, and have adverse health and economic effects. The shift to new, environmentally sensitive practices would maintain San Francisco’s status as a leader in urban planning and environmental innovation. A shift to green buildings is also vital to enhancing San Francisco’s livability for its residents, workers, and visitors.

This is the force of attraction between an object and the earth due to gravity.
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

Gravitational force

Explanation:

Gravitational force is the force that attracts an object down to the earth. It’s also the reason why we don’t float on this planet. This force is also why anything that isn’t thrown up must come down.

In space and other planets with little or no gravitational force ,organisms float over there which makes its inhabitation by organisms very difficult.
