3 0

Answer:

surface tension: the attraction between molecules at the surface of a liquid column

cohesion: attraction of one particle in a material for another

adhesion: the attraction between unlike substances  

evaporation: the change from the liquid to the vapor state  

Explanation: Surface tension is the downward force acting on the surface of liquid due to presence of inter molecular forces or cohesive forces between the particles of liquid.

Cohesion is the attraction between similar molecules. example: force of attraction between water molecules

Adhesion is the attraction between different molecules. example: force of attraction between HCl and water.

Evaporation is the the process in which liquid changes into gaseous state below its boiling point.

Which of the following is not a true statement comparing exoskeletons and endoskeletons?
nordsb [41]

Answer:

Exoskeletons provide less mechanical leverage.

Explanation:

There are two types of skeleton in living beings: the endoskeleton (which vertebrates possess, is lined with epithelial tissue and has bones and cartilage) and the exoskeleton, a skeletal structure that is located outside the body of the living being. , is an external skeleton. They are common in invertebrate animals, which have no internal bone structure.

The exoskeleton is a tough but flexible outer layer, not formed by bones, unlike the vertebrate endoskeleton. Its function is mechanical, chemical and biological protection, avoid excessive water loss, muscle support and serves as a connecting point for legs, wings and other appendages. However, this type of skeleton provides less mechanical leverage.

On the other hand, the endoskeleton is the name given to the internal skeleton, which is inside the body. This body structure is mainly seen in vertebrate animals and has the function of supporting and moving the body, as well as protecting some internal organs. Unlike exoskeleton, the endoskeleton provides more mechanical leverage.

Which of the following is a correct difference between active transport and facilitated diffusion?
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

Active transport requires energy from ATP while facilitated diffusion does not

Explanation:

Active transport and facilitated diffusion with the use of channel and carrier proteins are both ways by which ions, polar and large molecules cross a selectively permeable membrane.

The major difference is that; Active transport transport these particles from a low to high concentration, which is against concentration gradient and hence, energy is required to perform the task

Facilitated diffusion transport from a high to low concentration, which is through a concentration gradient and hence, no energy is required to perform the task.
