The answer is cohesion. The high surface tension helps the paper clip (with much higher density) float on water. The property of a liquid that allows it to resist an external force, due to cohesive nature of its molecules. Cohesion refers to the attraction of molecules for molecules of the same kind. Water molecules have strong cohesive forces due to their ability to form hydrogen bond with each other.

Alika [10]

Answer:

Jacob and Monod were intellectually primed to draw the conclusions they did concerning regulation of the lac operon. In part, this was due to their fascination with mechanisms of enzyme regulation. They knew that the activity of some enzymes is regulated when their reaction product binds to the enzyme, changing its shape and therefore its activity. This knowledge allowed them to easily make the intellectual leap to propose B) allosteric regulation of the repressor

Explanation:

When we talk about the mechanisms of enzyme regulation, we refer to allosteric regulation of the repressor. The Allosteric control of transcriptional regulatory proteins allows organisms to react to changes in environmental and metabolic conditions. Also, it is s a thermodynamic phenomenon. When it binds one molecule, the affinity with which a protein binds to a second molecule is altered.

Solids will usually sink when placed in their own liquids. Which is an exception?
Marat540 [252]

WATER

Solids will usually sink when placed in their own liquids with the exception of water

Explanation:

Ice (the solid form of water) floats on water that is cooler than 4 degrees centigrade. This is unlike any other material and this phenomenon has been referred to as the ‘water anomaly’.

Most substances will sink in their own liquid because the solid form is denser than the amount of their own liquid that they displace when immersed. This is because the particles in the solid are closely packed together hence there are more particles per volume than in the liquid form.  

Water however, expands at temperatures below 4 degrees and hence ice is less dense than water at 4 degrees and below. The particles in ice are farther apart than particles of water at 4 degrees and below. There is, therefore, more particles per volume in the liquid form of water than in ice – making ice less dense.

Which of the following cell organelles are responsible for making proteins?
Tresset [83]
There are four main organelles:
Nucleus
Ribosome
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
Golgi Apparatus

However, the ribosome is the most responsible for making protein, even though the other 3 are also important. It isn't a cell organelle but a cell structure that produces proteins.

9. WHY IS THIS (ANSWER TO #8. FROM ABOVE) MOLECULE SO IMPORTANT?
lana66690 [7]

Biological structures like DNA, proteins and cells all depend on molecules. ... Neurotransmitters like epinephrine are pretty simple molecules, but without them our nervous system couldn't work. Oxygen, containing just two oxygen atoms, is a very simple molecule, and it is certainly essential to living things.

Which labeled placemark in the layers folder represents the stratosphere?
Leya [2.2K]
The atmosphere is divided into different regions, called layers. The layer closest to the surface is known as troposphere, after which comes the stratosphere. The stratosphere begins at an altitude of 10 miles above the surface of the earth and stretches up to 31 miles above the surface of the earth. It is the second layer of the atmosphere (beginning from the surface of the earth) and it is the region which contains ozone, which plays a vital role in stopping ultraviolet radiation from reaching the earth's surface.
