Answer:

B. Water expands when it freezes, so solid water is less dense than liquid water

Explanation:

The molecules of water expands or increases in volume when it is freezed i.e. at a low temperature. This allows the solid state of water (ice) to be less dense than the liquid state (water). Hence, because ice is less dense than water, IT FLOATS. Therefore, in a water body whose temperature is low, the ice component floats on the surface, with liquid water beneath.

Due to this DENSITY property of ice (low) and water, aquatic organisms like fishes are able to survive and live just fine beneath a water body covered with ice. Note that, oxygen is trapped in the liquid portion of the water body underneath the ice covering.

¿Qué ventajas crees que nos da tener un PH ácido en el estómago? ayuda porfavor
iren2701 [21]

Answer & explanation:

This acidity in our stomach is advantageous because it kills most bacteria and creates the ideal environment for the enzymes pepsin and gastric lipase to digest food.

The pH corresponds to the hydrogen potential of a solution, this potential can be classified as acid, basic or neutral.

Respuesta y explicación:

Esta acidez en nuestro estómago es ventajosa porque mata a la mayoría de las bacterias y crea el ambiente ideal para que las enzimas pepsina y lipasa gástrica digieran los alimentos.

El pH corresponde al potencial de hidrógeno de una solución, este potencial se puede clasificar como ácido, básico o neutro.

How might gaps influence our understanding of the past
Veronika [31]

Answer:

The identification of gaps from systematic reviews is essential to the practice of “evidence-based research.” Health care research should begin and end with a systematic review. A research gap may not be a research need if filling the gap would not be of use to stakeholders that make decisions in health care.
