The correct answer is hydrogen bonds.

Snottite is a product of extremophilic bacteria which hang from the walls and ceilings of caves and are similar to stalactites, but have the consistency of nasal mucus.The main component of snottite is a sulphuric acid which is a waste product of bacteria.

The long slender strands found in the caves are secretions of the glow worms that dwell there. The strands are sticky and glow in the darkness of the cave. Their purpose is to catch the insects by attracting to light and get them stuck to the strands. The strands are attached to the roof of the cave by adhesion. The strands contain urea and uric acid. Urea is considered to a bonding agent based on its use in the adhesive industry. Thus the strands are probably being held in place by the urea and uric acid making an adhesive bond with the roof of the cave.

In multicellular organisms, several cells of one particular kind interconnect with each other and perform shared functions to form tissues (for example, muscle tissue, connective tissue, and nervous tissue), several tissues combine to form an organ (for example, stomach, heart, or brain), and several organs make up an organ system (such as the digestive system, circulatory system, or nervous system). Several systems functioning together form an organism (such as an elephant, for example).

Suppose earth landmasses someday all move together. Describe the changes that will occur in earths oceans in earths land masses.
Klio2033 [76]
The oceans will get wider as the continents are brought together to each other as a result of subduction zones. Most continents and microcontinents will collide with Eurasia. Eurasia could then collide with North America, when Eurasia shifts to the east and North America to the west. Australia could join Southeast Asia. As a result, Pacific ocean will grow wider and merge with all the other oceans, whereas all the earth's landmasses are combined, as a result of subduction.

When pouring food coloring into warm water and cold water, we can see that the
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

true!!

Explanation:

the faster molecules move, the warmer the object is. think of how much energy you feel when you touch hot water and you whip your hand back, thats similar to how the molecules are movin, all that heat is energy built up in them and theyre moving around all crazy haha. Then think of putting ice in the freezer, all the molecules are kinda frozen in place, all squished together, because they dont have enough energy to move around. so, when the hot molecules with all that energy are moving around, the food coloring is able to get all over in the water. Kind of like if youre on a road trip the faster you drive the faster you'll get places. if you drive super slow, then it'll take forever to get there. so true, when food coloring is dropped into faster hotter molecules, it will spread faster. :)
