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.

<u>Answer:</u>

<u>For 4:</u> The correct answer is adhesion

<u>For 5:</u> The correct answer is heat capacity.

<u>Explanation:</u>

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.

<u>For 4:</u>

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.

<u>For 5:</u>

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.

dmitriy555 [2]

The correct answer is 'If molecules are small enough, then they can pass through the semipermeable membrane because they can cross the semipermeable membrane from their small pores or openings'.

The semipermeable membrane is permeable to few molecules, and the smaller molecules pass through the molecules from small pores present in the semipermeable membrane. The size of the big molecules are large, so, they cannot cross through semipermeable membrane.

Albinism is inherited as autosomal recessive trait. The frequency of the disease in the population equals to 1:20 000. Calculate

prisoha [69]

Answer:

0.0139- frequency of heterozygotes in the population

Explanation:

Let q to the power of 2 represents the frequency of the homozygous recessive (aa) = 1/20000 = 0.00005

This, q = √q^2 = √0.00005 = 0.007

Since p + q = 1

p = 1 - 0.007 = 0.993

Using the formula: p^2 + 2pq + q^2

Where 2pq represents the frequency of the heterozygotes, thing we have

2 x 0.007 x 0.993

= 0.0139

Monthly mean temperature of oceanic climates should be below 22°C in the warmest months. Hottest month is on July. From the options, the location most likely situated near the ocean should be A. It's not B or D since it has 18°C. Not C as well as the interval of temperatures seems to be offset, and it should be colder as it approaches October.
