Biology
1 answer:
aliya0001 [1]2 years ago

Insects, such as water striders, and spiders, such as fisher spiders, can glide or scamper across the surface of water. These critters are small enough that their weight can be supported almost entirely by surface tension, the relatively weak forces that hold water molecules together.




Surface tension of water helps creatures(mostly of insecta class such as water striders) to walk on water. ... it also helps water to move up the xylem tissue of higher plants without breaking up

What change to the following molecule's structure would result in a saturated fat?
NemiM [27]

Answer:

It needs to gain a Hydrogen atom to eliminate the double bond between the two carbons.  

Explanation:

Unsaturated fat has one or more double bonds in its molecule. Saturated fat has a single bond. If you want an unsaturated fat to become saturated it needs to gain more more hydrogen atoms which will eliminate the double bonds between carbons of the unsaturated fat.

Hope this helped :)
