Why can a macroscopic amount of liquid that is contained change with the shape of the solid container holding it?

Biology

Answer:

C. Liquid molecules and atoms are able to slip around each other and fill in gaps between them.

Explanation:

The liquid is a state of matter that has no definite shape. In fact, it can adapt to the shape of its container. This is because of the reason that molecules in the liquid phase have high kinetic energy and weak binding forces. The high energy keeps them moving freely and thus can take the shape of it its container. On the other hand, in solids, the binding forces are stronger and molecules have very little energy to move freely.

Example: If we melt a solid, the molecules initially have less energy. However, when we heat them, they gain energy and start moving. Upon further heating, they will have enough energy to break the bondings and move around. This is why the solid structure will change to the liquid.

Identify the sentence that describes a characteristic of the Coriolis effect. Ocean currents have an effect on climate and weath
ch4aika [34]
The answer is Because of to Earth’s rotation, the winds are deflected to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere. Coriolis effect causes the horizontal deflection effect, due to the rotating motion of the earth, to be felt more as you go closer to the poles and to decrease as you move near the equator. This same force is responsible for the rotation of large cyclones.

What similarities in flower structure are found among the plants in the rose family
emmainna [20.7K]

The rose family is a medium-sized family of flowering plants. The rose family (Rosaceae) is one of the major angiosperm families. The leaves are generally arranged spirally. Flowers of plants in the rose family are generally described as "showy". They are actinomorphic and almost always hermaphroditic.  Rosaceae generally have five sepals, and five petals. They also have many spirally arranged stamens. The bases of the sepals, petals, and stamens are fused together to form a  cup-like structure called a hypanthium. They can be arranged in racemes, spikes, or heads; solitary flowers are rare.

What role did mycorrhizae play in the transition of plants to land?
Colt1911 [192]
Mycorrhizae are associations between fungi and the roots of plants, where the Fungi provides minerals to the plant. It enabled plants and fungi to be the first organisms to invade land successfully 430 million years ago. In most cases the relationship between host plants and the mycorrhizal fungus is mutualistic, or mutually beneficial. The Mycorrhizal fungi come into direct contact with plant roots and with the soil, adding to the plants ability to gather nutrients and water from the soil through the fungus.
