Which property of water allows some lightweight insects to walk on top of a pond and not fall in

Biology

sergejj [24]3 years ago

Surface tension is the property of water which allows for some lightweight insects to walk on top of a pond and not fall in. The molecules of water are held together by cohesive forces. The molecules of water present below the surface experience this cohesive force from all the directions, whereas the water molecules present on the surface experience a downward pull, as the force is not balanced. This leads to the concaving of the water surface inside a small tube.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

Light weight insects can walk on water due to the <em>surface tension</em> of water.

Explanation:

  • <u>Surface tension is the tension in the surface layer of liquid, caused due to the attractive forces on surface molecules by surrounding molecules.</u>
  • The molecules in side the liquid try to attract surface molecules toward the water center.
  • Due to which surface molecules don't interact with with other forces less than cohesive forces.
  • That is why surface tension allow light weight insects to walk on water without sinking.

Which of the following does NOT occur in cells? Group of answer choices The conversion of sunlight into energy stored in chemica
seraphim [82]

Answer:

The use of heat to burn foodstuffs

The use of chemical energy to transport organelles through the cytosol

Explanation:

In plant cells, sunlight energy is converted into chemical energy in a process known as photosynthesis which happens in the chloroplast.

During respiration, cells generally metabolize nutrients to produce useful energy in the form of ATP.

<em>Heat is not used to burn foodstuffs in any cell while organelles are not transported through the cytosol in any cell.</em>

Explain what would happen if water did not expand when freezing. How would this impact aquatic life?
Lapatulllka [165]

Explanation:

If water did not expand when freezing, then it would be denser than liquid water when it froze; therefore it would sink and fill lakes or the ocean from bottom to top. Once the oceans filled with ice, life there would not be possible.
