Answer:

D) adhesion

Explanation:

Adhesion is a water property that allows water molecules to adhere to each other. This can occur thanks to its polarity. Water tends to attract and be attracted to other polar molecules. This attraction between water molecules and other polar molecules is called adhesion. When the slope occurs the water surface becomes curved, as shown in the figure.

Water molecules do not bind with nonpolar molecules, ie there is no adhesion. Therefore it is not evenly distributed on a waxed surface, and forms separate droplets on them, as the wax is nonpolar.

The answer is ultrafiltration. This is helped by the hydrostatic pressure and blood pressure in afferent renal arteriole. Molecules such as water, glucose, urea, sodium chloride, amino acids pass through the semipermeable membrane of the dense capillary network of the glomerulus to form glomerular filtrate. Some of these molecules are later reabsorbed in the renal tubules.

Answer:

Detergents are knows as a class of molecules whose having unique properties to enable formation of hydrophobic-hydrophilic interaction among molecules in membrane. This unique property of detergents are used to dissolve membrane protein in water solution or in any solution.

Detergents are used to lyse cells, solubilize membrane lipids, and proteins, prevent protein crystalization, and nonspecific binding.

Vladimir79 [104]

Answer

They have polygenic inheritance and are also affected by the environment factor.

Explanation

The trait of height and skin tone are controlled by different genes and are also affected by environmental factors. The skin tone and height within the population is not specific, both have wide ranges varies from high expression of the gene to less or even no expression of the gene. Mostly these factors are mostly affected by inheritance and less by environmental factors.
