What is the shape of a drop of water?

Biology
1 answer:
Shalnov [3]3 years ago
7 0
If the drop is small enough, it is a perfect sphere.
<span> A sphere is the geometrical shape that has the smallest surface area for its volume. The drop takes this shape because water molecules tend to stick to each other. So, when not confined by a container, and with nothing around it to distort its shape, a very tiny water drop is perfectly round like a ball because the water molecules are pulling inward toward each other. </span>

<span>If the drop is larger like a raindrop in free-fall, it has a domed top and a semi-flattened bottom because as it falls it must push the air out of its way. That "upward" push of the air being displaced causes the falling drop to have a rather flattened bottom. </span>

<span>Contrary to popular misconception, a free-falling raindrop is not shaped like a teardrop -- round on the bottom and pointy on top.

Research has indicated that during the inflammatory response to P. acnes, both the classical and the alternative complement path
UNO [17]

Answer:

The correct answers are options B, D and E.

Explanation:

One of the essential parts of the innate immune system is the complement system. This system performs an essential function in elevating the tendency of antibodies and phagocytic cells to eliminate the pathogens. There are three biochemical pathways, which instigate the complement system that comprises the classical, alternative, and lectin complement pathway.  

The fundamental activities of the complement system are opsonization, cell lysis, chemotaxis, and agglutination. The process of cytolysis takes place through the complement pathway by the generation of membrane attack complex in the raiding cells. The complement pathway also leads to inflammation.

If the pair of materials listed below were rubbed together, give the charge that each would have in the same order as listed. us
const2013 [10]

Answer:

Simply put, the property of electron affinity refers to the relative amount of love that a material has for electrons. If atoms of a material have a high electron affinity, then that material will have a relatively high love for electrons. This property of electron affinity will be of utmost importance as we explore one of the most common methods of charging - triboelectic charging, also known as charging by friction or rubbing.

Suppose that a rubber balloon is rubbed with a sample of animal fur. During the rubbing process, the atoms of the rubber are forced into close proximity with the atoms of the animal fur. The electron clouds of the two types of atoms are pressed together and are brought closer to the nuclei of the other atoms. The protons in the atoms of one material begin to interact with the electrons present on the other material
