Answer:
The characteristic of water that makes this liquid stick to the side of a test tube is called capillarity (Claim).
Explanation:
Water (H₂O) is a polar molecule with the ability to generate van der Waals forces, which is explained by the 4 hydrogen bonds it forms to bind to other substances. The consequence of the forces of the molecular bonds are four properties of H₂O, including surface tension, cohesion, adhesion and capillarity.
- <u>Claim</u>: The characteristic of water that makes this liquid stick to the side of a test tube is called capillarity.
- <u>Evidence</u>: Cohesion and adhesion of water are properties that come from the forces of the molecular bonds of water, and whose effect is the ability of water to wet surfaces and adhere to a tube that contains it, the latter due to capillarity. Capillarity also allows water to rise through the roots and stems of plants, through their thin vascular ducts.
- <u>Reasoning</u>: <u>cohesion</u> in water depends on the force of attraction between H₂O molecules, <u>adhesion</u> is the capacity of H₂O molecules to join other different molecules and —together with <u>surface tension</u>— make H₂O molecules close to the walls of a glass tube adhere to it, which represents capillarity.
The effect of capillarity is more evident when the test tube is of a smaller diameter, although capillarity and adhesion to its walls always exist, and to a greater degree than any other substance.
Gymnosperms do not have fruits or flowers and have an unenclosed or naked seeds on the surface of scales or leaves while Angiosperms have seeds that are enclosed within an ovary which is usually a fruit.
Answer:
Cochlear duct.
Explanation:
The mammalian ear is divided into three parts- outer ear, middle ear and inner ear. Ear is an important organ of the body responsible for maintaining the body's equilibrium.
The cochlear duct is well known as scala media. The cochlear duct is present between the perilymphatic chambers. This duct is interconnected at tip of the cochlear spiral.
Thus, the answer is cochlear duct.
Answer:
mutation
Explanation:
If any part of the DNA is changed, such as the base pairs, then it would result in the mutation of the DNA, causing it to carry out a different function
