A family takes its summer vacation at a beach resort. Six-year-old Timmy spends the entire morning in a swimming pool. When his

mother finally gets him out and dries him off, she remarks that his fingers and toes are "wrinkled up just like a prune." Prunes start their lives as plums. They get their characteristic wrinkles by dehydration. Sitting for hours in water is anything except dehydration. How can you solve this mystery? Use the Internet to investigate the wrinkling of a prune and the wrinkling of the skin when it is immersed in water. Be sure to relate your discussion of this topic to the process of osmosis.

Answer: Water diffuses into the skin via sweat ducts which alters the electrolyte balance. electrolytes can be salts like sodium and potassium. This alters the stability of neurons causing blood vessels to constrict therefore decreasing the amount of fluid in the fingers which would normally give the skin tension. The decrease causes wrinkles.

Explanation: I had that answer before and it was really hard to understand it, I hope this helps you. Best Of Luck!

Like plants, human beings have similarities and differences. God gave us talents which He wants us to use. What can you do best?
asambeis [7]
Well, humans have talents. Whether those talents are god given is up for debate. I'd argue those talents are a result of millions of years of evolution and natural selection as proven by Charles Darwin, not given by an unproven deity, but I don't know what school year you are in so you may not have escaped the years where religion is forced upon you :P

Anyway, if you're being asked this question, what do <em>you </em>like doing? I'd say my talent lies in science, as I was the top performing physicist throughout my gcse years, and I love the subject. In my opinion what you do best is what you love doing most, as if you have a passion for something it will almost always be your best talent. I can't answer that question for you.

Sharing this talent to others is basically teaching and also spreading your passion for your talent to others. They probably won't ever be as good as you because they will have their own talents and passions, but you can give them an insight into it by teaching them what you know and encouraging them to invest some time into it.
