Why does ice float on liquid water

Biology

Law Incorporation [45]4 years ago

 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.

Which of the following is characteristics of a steroid hormone action? - internal receptor binding -second messenger activation
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is Internal receptor binding.

Explanation:

Steroid hormones are derived from cholesterol. There are varios steriod hormone present inside our body such as Testosterone,glucocorticoid, mineralocortocoid, coticosterone etc.

                 Steroid hormone are hydrophobic in nature as a result they can cross the plasma membrane and binds to the receptor present in either nucleus or cytoplasm.

                          After binding to the rceceptor the receptor hormone complex interract with specific DNA sequence known as steroid hormone responsive element which further leads to the transcription of that DNA resulting in the formtion of mRNA that further enters into the translation process to synthesize specific protein associated with the functioning of that hormone .

It is believed that the tilapia fish was introduced into the mangrove system by escaping from fisheries and aquariums by accident, but this species is also used to control the population of mosquitos to prevent outbreaks of malaria and other invasive species on which they feed.
The tilapia are highly tolerant and easily adaptable to different conditions in the mangrove ecosystem and they are highly efficient predators. This often makes them more successful in the environments where they are introduced than the indigenous species, which results in disruption of the food chain.
The negative human impact on mangroves disrupts the balance in the mangrove ecosystems, weakening the populations of different species that originate from mangrove forests. This leaves more space and resources to be exploited by the tilapia. 
The strategies to control tilapia in mangrove ecosystems focus on restoring the habitat and strengthening the populations of indigenous species while decreasing the numbers of tilapia.
The species can be eradicated by selective overfishing of the species or by introducing another species into the habitat which is a natural enemy of the tilapia.
