4. Large, circular lily pads are able to float on the water's surface.

Answer: cohesion

Cohesion mean that water attracted to another water. This force will make the water to form a surface tension in the lake. Water lily has a wide and thin leaf which makes it giving a low force per area. If the force applied on the surface is not bigger than surface tension, the leaf will stay float above the water. Surface tension also the reason water spider could walk on water.

5. The temperature of the water is about 5°C, while the temperature of the air is about 21°C.

Answer: heat capacity

Water has high heat capacity. High heat capacity mean that the water will not be easily become cold or hot. It will need more energy to increase/decrease the temperature of the water. This is why the water could keep its temperature much lower than the atmosphere. This will protect the organism inside the water from an extreme temperature change.

Answer:

For 4: The correct answer is adhesion

For 5: The correct answer is heat capacity.

Explanation:

Adhesive forces are defined as the molecular forces which are present between different substances. For Example: When water is poured into glass, the molecular forces between the walls of container and water molecules.

Cohesive forces are defined as the molecular forces which are present between same substances.

Heat capacity is defined as the amount of heat energy that is required to raise temperature of a substance per unit of mass. It is a physical property.

For 4:

The molecular forces between circular lily pads and water is strong. Thus, circular lily pads float on water's surface.

Hence, the correct answer is adhesion.

For 5:

In water, hydrogen bonding is present, which is strong. So, in order to overcome this bonding, we need to apply more heat. So, the amount of heat required is more to raise the temperature. Thus, it has high heat capacity.

This is the reason the temperature of water is about 5°C while the temperature of air is about 21°C.

Hence, the correct answer is heat capacity.

A. Fine Focus.

B. Nucleus, Cytoplasm, and membrane

C. 30 Micrometer.

Erythrocytes are well known to have no nucleus but in fact, they lack most organelles such as the Golgi apparatus endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria. Hair consists of two parts the root and the hair shaft. The root is the part of the living hair located in the middle layer of the skin the dermis.

Epidermal root cells in some plants produce root hairs and tubular growths that increase the surface area of the root. Unlike other cells in the body, red blood cells do not have a nucleus. This habit dates back to when mammals began to evolve. Other vertebrates such as fish reptiles, and birds have erythrocytes that contain dormant nuclei. To allow red blood cells to carry an increased load of oxygen cells evolved to function without a nucleus and other associated organelles.

What structure provides a protective environment in which the fetus's temperature is well regulated and protects the fetus from

Gnom [1K]

Answer;

The amnion

Explanation;

-The amnion is a tough, thin membrane that surrounds a developing fetus in mammals, reptiles, and birds. It is the first of the three cavities (amnion, chorion and yolk sac) in the embryo and is formed on 8 dpc.

-In the human body, the amnion is the first of three cavities, including the chorion and yolk sac, that work together to keep the developing fetus nourished and protected.

-The amnion provides a protective environment in which the fetus' temperature is regulated and protects the fetus from friction caused by the mother's movements.

To check your pulse and determine your heart rate during aerobic exercise, it is best to place your index and middle fingers on

Taya2010 [7]

The best place to test the pulse is just below the base of the thumb, on the wrist. This allows the person to continue their exercise while still being able to check the pulse rate and see if it has reached the level they are desiring.

What is the name of the oxidized form doesn't have h attached of the electron carrier in photosynthesis?

KiRa [710]

In photosynthesis, an electron carrier of the light cycles is the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate or NADP. This is the oxidized form, because the reduced form of this carrier has the extra H (NADPH). This is somehow related to the electron carrier called nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide or NAD (minus the phosphate).

Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

Right posterior oblique position.

Explanation:

The obtruator foramen is the opening created by the ischium and pubis bones of the pelvis. This obtruator is triangle in shape in females and oval shape in males.

When the right obturator foramen has been narrowed, the coccyx and sacrum has been rotated toward the left hip and the right ischial spine has been demonstrated without the pelvic brim of the superimposition. This represents the RPO (right posterior oblique position.
