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

Biology

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.

Determine whether the statement is true or false. Suppose P(t) represents the population of bacteria at time t and suppose P'(t)
Lorico [155]

Answer:

TRUE

Explanation:

If the population follows a logistic growth curve, the graph of P vs t will look like the diagram below.

The rate of growth (P') increases slowly at first, then increases rapidly from 2 to 4, and then slows down, but always P > 0.

The graph has an inflection point at (3, 1000). That's the point at which the rate of growth starts slowing down.

When t < 3, P'' > 0.  

When t = 3, P'' = 0.

When t > 3, P'' < 0, because the rate of population growth is slowing down.

Thus, if the population is in the final phase of logistic growth, the population is increasing at a decreasing rate (TRUE)..

Answer;

-Papule

Explanation;

A papule is an area of abnormal skin tissue that is less than 1 centimeter around. A papule has distinct borders, and it can appear in a variety of shapes. Papules are often called skin lesions, which are essentially changes in the color or texture of your skin.

-Papules and pustules are the result of an increase in oil and bacteria trapped inside the pore by dead skin cells. Papules occur when the clogging causes a hair follicle to become inflamed. When this happens, the body's immune system sends white blood cells to fight the infection.
