1. Water’s solid form is less dense than its liquid form, while the opposite is true of most other substances.
For example, the Ice.
Notice that the ice is a solid form of the water but when you put the ice in the water, it floats. That makes it denser than the water itself. This happens because the hydrogen bonds cause the molecules to push farther apart with each other which result to lower density of the solid form of water.

The relative densities of the water as solid and liquid differ from the subsequent densities of the other substances. The density of the solid form of water is less than the density of water in its liquid form. However, majority of other substances increases in density when they solidify. This is the reason that the ice (which is the solid form of water) floats on water (liquid form).

Hence, the correct answer is 'Water's solid form is less dense than solid form while the case in opposite in other substances'.

damaskus [11]

It's main function is to produce ATP, the energy currency of the cell. The mitochondria take fuel (glucose) and essentially burns it. The energy given off by oxidizing the fuel is harnessed by causing ions to move across a membrane, kind of like pumping water. The ions then flow down through a protein which synthesizes ATP much like the water then flows down through a dam to generate electricity.Chlorophyll is vital for photosynthesis, which allows plants to absorb energy from light. Chlorophyll molecules are specifically arranged in and around photosystems that are embedded in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts. In these complexes, chlorophyll serves two primary functions

Why we used dyes when we prepare onion , human cheek eqithelium smears, and didn’t use it in cork and leaf epidermal cells smear

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Staining is done for onion cells to visualize the cytoplasm of yellow and white onions because they are not pigmented. The staining of human cheek cells with methylene blue is necessary to stain the nucleus to get clear image of it under microscope because methylene blue binds to negative charge nucleic acids

While for leaf epidermal cells smears, staining is not necessary as they are visible under light microscope without staining and they also have pigmented materials inside them such as chlorophyll chloroplast. The cork cell is a non-living and have a cell wall whose structure is visible under light microscope.
