 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.

Describe the similarities and differences in the way humans and insects obtain oxygen.
Molodets [167]

Answer:

There are many ways.

Explanation:

Humans have a combined respiratory and circulatory system, whereas insects do not. In humans, the air is brought in through the mouth/nose, through the windpipe, and into the lungs, the oxygen is absorbed into the bloodstream where it can be transported to muscles and organs. However, insects take in air through tiny holes in their thorax and abdomen. These are called spiracles. The oxygen is stored in many dorsal air sacs to be used. Then carbon dioxide is expelled through the spiracles.
