Why does ice become less dense than water?

Biology
1 answer:
myrzilka [38]3 years ago
8 0
Ice actually has a very different structure than liquid water, in that the molecules align themselves in a regular lattice rather than more randomly as in the liquid form. It happens that the lattice arrangement allows water molecules to be more spread out than in a liquid, and, thus, ice is less dense than water.

Why do plants have a cell wall and animals cells don’t?
algol [13]
Cell walls are supporting structures that help the plant to have a fixed shape and protect it from injury. Other than that, it helps to keep the plant turgid so that it can stay firm and upright. Because when it enters a high water potential solution, as water moves in, the water exerts turgor pressure on the cell wall and the cell wall thus exerts an opposing pressure to keep water out. Hence cell wall is needed for the plant.

On the other hand, animal cells do not need to keep the structures, as they have the skeletal system to protect the organs and cushion them against any
external injuries.

I hope that helped

AfilCa [17]

Answer:

Cuando la célula madre se divide varias veces de forma consecutiva y los núcleos se rodean del citoplasma dentro de ella, es una reproducción tipo: <u>esporulación</u>.

Explanation:

En la reproducción asexual, un solo ser origina nuevos individuos iguales entre si e iguales a su progenitor. Este tipo de reproducción es común en ciertos invertebrados, en las bacterias y en los protozoarios. La esporulación es uno de los tipos de reproducción asexual, esta consiste en varias divisiones del núcleo que se envuelve de fragmentos citoplasmáticos, originando muchos descendientes genéricamente idénticos. Dicha reproducción permite la formación de esporas y la liberación de las mismas cuando las paredes de la célula se rompen. Se observa en ciertas especies de protozoarios.
