Insects, such as water striders, and spiders, such as fisher spiders, can glide or scamper across the surface of water. These critters are small enough that their weight can be supported almost entirely by surface tension, the relatively weak forces that hold water molecules together.
Surface tension of water helps creatures(mostly of insecta class such as water striders) to walk on water. ... it also helps water to move up the xylem tissue of higher plants without breaking up
Explanation:
Large amounts of heat are needed to evaporate water, because H-bonds need to be broken. Sweating is an example of using water as d coolant. As the sweat evaporates it pulls heat away from the body. Application 'Water's thermal properties, its high specific heat, means that it can cool us.
Each group of three nucleotides encodes one amino acid. Since there are 64 combinations of 4 nucleotides taken three at a time there are 20 amino acids.
