If you drop a metal paperclip into a cup of water, it will sink to the bottom, however with practice, you can gently place a met

al paperclip on the surface and it will balance or appear to float. Why does this happen?
A. Water has strong hydrogen bonds that result in it having strong surface tension allowing the paperclip to float.
B. Due to the polarity of water, the positive hydrogens bond with the paperclip causing it to float on the waters’ surface.
C. The negative ions are attracted to the paper clip allowing it to float.
D. Water has weak hydrogen bonds that cause it to have poor surface tension allowing the paper clip to float.

Answer:

The answer is A because the water has strong surface tension, I didn't know why but I know it's surface tension holding it up so it has to be A

During the _______ phase, the muscle is returning to resting length.
tangare [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is: Eccentric phase.

When talking about movement, we are talking about the activation of muscle fibers in order for this process to happen. In order for this to happen, motor neurons must activate the phases of muscle excitation, contraction and relaxation, so that the sarcomeres, and thus the fibers, can generate movement.

In essence, there are three stages, or phases, to complete muscle movement:   the concentric phase, which is when the muscle fibers are excited and begin the process of contraction. This means the muscle fibers will contract and generate movement, generating a shortening. Then we have the isometric stage, a moment in which there is no longer any more shortening of the muscle fibers, so basically, the movement is held and there is no further contraction, but neither is there relaxation of the muscle fibers. Finally, we have the eccentric phase. This phase is characterized precisely because it is the moment when the muscles begin to return to their resting position.

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

The correct answer is - osmosis.

Explanation:

Paramecium lives in freshwater like the Potomac River which is hypotonic to the cytosol of the paramecium. Paramecium uses contractile vacuoles to transport the water from the lower concentration (outside of the cell) to a high concentration of solvent to the inside of the cells.

This process of cell transport is carried out by osmosis as their cytoplasm contains a higher concentration of solutes outside the cell. This excess water is collected into vacuoles called contractile vacuole that swells and finally internalized the water to the outside of the cell.

Thus, the correct answer is - osmosis.
