 A single water particle (a molecule) is made up of two hydrogen atoms bonded to an oxygen atom. The oxygen will attract the negative charges in the hydrogen towards it. This will cause the oxygen atom to be negatively charged and the hydrogen atoms to become positively charged. When a liquid freezes, liquid particles move closer together and form strong bonds with one another. There are now more particles in the same area, the solid is denser than the liquid. When water freezes the negative charges on the oxygen push the particles apart. This means that the water becomes less dense with freezing.

Ice can float on liquid water because the ice is less dense so it has an ability to rise to the top of the glass of water.

The cycads, a mostly tropical phylum of gymnosperms, evolved about 300 million years ago and were dominant forms during the age
Andrei [34K]

Answer:The Cycad tree is the sporophyte.They have flagellated sperm.

Explanation:

During pollination, the contents of the megaspore divide to form many–celled gamateophyte called the endosperm and archegonium. There is a micropyle opening with a sticky fluid, which traps the wind-borne male gametophyte (microspores) which,at this time is made up of prothallus cell;an antheridial cell and a large tube cell. The trapped microspore is sucked into the archegonia chamber. Antherizoids are released, but only one penetrates each oospore and fuses with the female nucleus. The zygote is formed in the ovule and the later develops into seed.The diploid seed germinates into a new sporophyte plant and the life cycle begins again. Examples of cycad include Cycas circinalis ,Cycas celebrical and Cycas revoluta
