Which of the following is not due to water’s surface tension?

Biology
1 answer:
jonny [76]3 years ago
4 0

The correct answer is option D, that is, ice floating on the water surface.  

The cohesive forces among the molecules of a liquid are accountable for the process called surface tension. Surface tension refers to the tension of the surface film of a liquid resulting due to the attraction of the particles in the surface layer by the bulk of the liquid that seems to reduce the surface area.  

The examples of surface tension are walking of small insects on water, floating of a needle, the surface tension of water offers the essential wall tension for the creation of bubbles with water, and surface tension is accountable for the shape of liquid droplets.  

The low density of ice makes it float at the liquid water surface, like ice cubes in a glass of water, or an iceberg. The lower density of water in its solid form is because of the way hydrogen bonds are aligned as it freezes, the water molecules are pushed further far away in comparison to the liquid water.

Patel and her siblings try to stick to a low salt diet since they have inherited high blood pressure from their mother. This is
garri49 [273]

The low salt diet is a great solution to overcome heath determinant of Biology and genetics.

  • According to this question, Patel and her siblings have inherited high blood pressure from their parents. This tells us that the health condition is a genetic disorder, which is branch of Biology.

  • Patel and her siblings are however, on a low salt diet as a solution to overcome the health challenge (high blood pressure).

This solution is, hence, a great solution to overcome the heath determinant of Biology and genetics.

What do the tympanic membranes do for the frog?
BabaBlast [244]
A tympanic membrane, (is also called a tympanum), is the circular patch of skin directly behind the frog’s eye that we commonly call an eardrum. It functions much like our’s does.

The tympanum sends sound waves to the middle of the war then to inner ear, which allows a frog to hear both in the air and below water.

For a human baby to be born a boy he must receive A. an X chromosome from the father. B. a Y chromosome from the mother. C. a Y
diamong [38]
C. a Y chromosome from his father

This is because boys have one X and one Y chromosome, while girls have 2 X's, so the Y must come from the father.

Hope this helps :D

Mitochondrial inner membrane fragments that contain ATP synthase can be isolated in the lab. Under appropriate conditions, these
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

The optimum pH of ATP synthase is 6.4 therefore maximum activity  will  occur at pH7  by the vesicle, however because the concentration of the  three , is relatively the same , and exhibited  equal effects  on  the pH,  catalysis  by the vesicle will  not take place BECAUSE NO  HYDROGEN ION IS AVAILABLE  to supply the energy

Generally the synthase activity decreases with drops in pH. The lower pH  of 6.5 from the  set point value , will affect catalysis.

The low pH     lead to  increase in  concentration of base in  the buffer solution. Therefore more H +  are produced .for the synthesis of ATP. The  vesicle catalyzed ATP production.  But the increase in hydrogen ion concentration with time  affect the 3 dimensional structure of the ATPase synthase enzyme in the vesicle and increases the inhibitory effect of ADP therefore  the  vesicle stops the catalysis.
