If a large animal such as a human being had a thin light exoskeleton, there would be several problems. Since the exoskeleton would not be able to hold its shape, it would be difficult to keep the vital organs protected and the organism would be subject to damaging levels of stress just by moving around. They are not strong enough to hold organs or hold its shape.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
Typically across all life, the plasma membrane of cells is made up of a bilipid layer of phospholipids. The phosphate ends of the molecules, which are hydrophilic hence ‘face’ the interior and exterior of the cells. The fatty acid chains, which are hydrophobic are embedded in between because they no charges hence do not interact well with charged molecules. The phosphate ends, on the other hand, are negatively charged hence can interact well with the polar water molecules. It is therefore usually a challenge for molecules with charges to diffuse across the membrane without the help of channel proteins that will help them cross the hydrophobic layer.
A - Rolling Hills
abiotic = non living
all the other answers had to do with biotic factors (human, animals, trees)
Answer:
A. Water molecules have strong intermolecular attractions.
Explanation:
Water molecules have strong intermolecular attractions due to the presence of hydrogen bond between oxygen and hydrogen atoms. This hydrogen bond is present between hydrogen of one water molecule to the oxygen of another water molecule. This hydrogen bond is weaker than covalent bond so that's why it can be broken down and water is converted into vapours form by heating.
D.
Cold and high salinity
Explanation:
Warmer waters are less dense than cooler/ cold waters. This is why surface ocean currents are made of warmer waters while deeper currents are cooler. The deep currents also have a higher salinity. This is because cooler water gets more concentrated faster by dissolving the same amount of solutes (in this case ocean mineral salts) compared to warm waters. This also makes deepwater currents them denser.
