No, because when we cry we breathe out and in, and since we can't breathe underwater we would end up dying in the water. Unless you had a scuba headset then you can cry because you also have the ability to breathe.

No crying underwater is not possible because of 2 reasons.
1) While crying there is a spasm of muscles , of that of the oesophagus (throat) and this would result in death of an individual if he/she is under water.
2) The external fluid pressure will not permit the tear gland to secrete tears there by nullifying the possibility.
Thus u cannot cry unre water..
of course except if u are wearing a goggle or u are in a submarine! :)

Andrei [34K]

Answer:

One of the probable ways to determine how long ago any two species of bacteria diverged from each other is by drawing a phylogenetic tree.

Phylogenetic tree are trees that show the ancestry of two species of interest and the relationship between them.
The idea behind the construction of phylogenetic tree is darwins's "descent with modification theory".
A phylogenetic tree is constructed using the similarities or differences in either physical characteristics, behavorial, or genetic buildup.
Derived traits shared between the different species are the actual data used to construct a phylogenetic tree.

Alex_Xolod [135]

Muscle contraction that results in a change in joint angle is called concentric contraction.
This contraction occurs when enough force that can overcome the resistance applied is developed by the muscle where this force developed is larger than the force of the resistance applied.

Question 9(Multiple Choice Worth 3 points)

sergejj [24]

Answer:

The answer is "galaxies."

Explanation:

The "universe" is also called "the cosmos." It includes space, time and heavenly bodies such as planets, sun, moon, galaxies, etc.

A galaxy is considered to be a big collection of gas, dust, stars (including their solar systems). All of these are being held together by "gravity." The Earth's galaxy is called the "Milky Way." The name is derived from how it appears from afar.

Other than our galaxy, there are millions or even billions of other galaxies in the universe! They come in different colors, shapes and sizes. They appear clustered together due to "mutual gravity." A cluster consists of hundreds to thousands of galaxies.
