Answer: B (Items with densities lower than water will sink due to surface tension)
Explanation:
Surface tension is an intermolecular force exerted on the surface of water making it like a stretch elastic skin. Surface tension enables items with lesser densities than water, to float and slide on a water surface. Examples insects, leaves, paper etc
According to Archimedes principle an object denser than the fluid will sink. While objects less dense than the fluid will float.
Answer is (B) is false because items with densities higher then water will sink due to surface tension
Answer:
C-attracted.
Explanation:
When two magnets stay together they are being attracted. If they are pushing each other away, they are being repelled.
The liquid nitrogen freezes the balloon and shatters it on contact
The answer is: True.
The magnitude of a vector is represented by the length of the arrow.
The arrow length is drawn according a chosen scale.
For example, the diagram shows a vector with a magnitude of 100 kilometers, if the scale used for constructing the diagram is 1 cm = 10 km, the vector arrow is drawn with a length of 10 cm.
The arrow has an obvious tail and arrowhead. The arrow points in the precise direction.
Answer:
a. Remaining at rest requires the use of ATP.
Explanation:
The resting membrane potential is maintained by the sodium-potassium pump. The sodium potassium pump does this by actively pumping sodium ions out of the cell and potassium ions inside the cell in a ratio of 3:2. This movement of ions by the sodium-potassium pump is against their concentration gradient. In a neuron at rest, there are more sodium ions outside the cell than there are inside the cell. Also, there are are more potassium ions inside the cell than there are outside the cell. However, there are ion channels through which these ions enter and leave the cell. Sodium ion channels allow sodium to enter the cell following its concentration gradient, whereas, potassium ion channels allow potassium to leave the cell following its concentration gradient. However, more potassium ions leave the cell than do sodium ions enter the cell because of the higher permeability of the cell to potassium ions.
In order to maintain the resting membrane potential, the sodium potassium pump powered by the hydrolysis of an ATP molecules pumps sodium ions out of the cell and potassium ions into the cell.
<em>Therefore, the correct option is A, as ATP is needed by the sodium-potassium pump in order to maintain the resting membrane potential.</em>
