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.

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

The correct answer is 20 years.

Explanation:

It is given that the growing rate is 2% or 2/100 = 0.02

This rate got increased to 150%

The formula for exponential growth is:  

A = Pe^rt

Let the initial population be 100%

150 = 100.e^0.02*t

3/2 = e^0.02t

1.5 = e^0.02t

After taking log from both the sides:  

ln(1.5) = 0.02t * ln(e) [ln(e) = 1]

ln(1.5) = 0.02t

t = ln(1.5)/0.02

t = 20.27

Thus, it will take around 20 years for the size of the population to reach 150 percent of its present size on the basis of the exponential growth function.

Do all eukaryotic cells contain a cell wall
romanna [79]

Many kinds of prokaryotes and eukaryotes contain a structure outside the cell membrane called the cell wall. With only a few exceptions, all prokaryotes have thick, rigid cell walls that give them their shape. Among the eukaryotes, some protists, and all fungi and plants, have cell walls.
