As liquid water freezes, the molecules arrange themselves in a way that takes up more space than liquid water. What would most l

ikely occur if the arrangement of frozen water molecules required less space than that of liquid water molecules?
A).The density of ice would be greater than the density of liquid water, and ice would not float.

B). Ice would form in layers, and liquid water would get trapped in between the layers.
Liquid water would have a higher specific heat, making it less likely to undergo vaporization.

C).The freezing point of water would decrease, making ice more difficult to form.

<span>If ice were denser than liquid water, icebergs would likely sink (even given that sea water is denser than normal water). If this were the case then oceans would likely freeze over. (For example, ice laid down in the winter months would not completely thaw in the summer months, and the next winter cycle would result in a net increase of ice).</span>

Answer:

A).The density of ice would be greater than the density of liquid water, and ice would not float.  

Explanation:

The density of substance depends on its mass and volume. It can be defined as the matter contained in a unit volume.

A denser substance sinks while a less dense substance floats in a fluid.

Ice floats on water because its water molecules occupy more space than liquid water molecules. If the frozen water molecules occupied lesser space, its density would have increased and it would sink in water.

Because, photoautotrophs serves as their carbon sources.
Chemoheterotrophic bacteria are those bacteria that are incapable of producing their own food, they depend on photoautotrophs, which are capable of making their own food by trapping energy from the sun. Thus, photoautotrophs serves as source of food for the chemoheterotrophic bacteria.

tekilochka [14]

The most accurate answer is  C.

The cytoskeleton is responsible for cell shape, motility (movement) and motility of organelles within a cell.

Unlike the human skeleton , the cytoskeleton is extremely dynamic, meaning the filaments that make up the cytoskeleton are able to shorten or lengthen very rapidly.

This dynamic nature is necessary for cells to be able to change shape, complete cell division, or migrate (move from one place to another).The cytoskeleton connects to every organelle and every part of the cell membrane.
