Answer:
d) buoyancy
Explanation:
Buoyancy can be defined as an upward force which is created by the water displaced by an object.
According to Archimede's principle, it is directly proportional to the amount (weight) of water that is being displaced by an object.
Thus, the greater the amount of water an object displaces; the greater is the force of buoyancy pushing the object up.
The buoyancy of an object is given by the formula;
Where;
Fb = buoyant force of a liquid acting on an object.
g = acceleration due to gravity.
p = density of the liquid.
v = volume of the liquid displaced.
h = height of liquid (water) displaced by an object.
A = surface area of the floating object.
The unit of measurement for buoyancy is Newton (N).
Additionally, the density of a fluid is directly proportional to the buoyant force acting on it i.e as the density of a liquid decreases, buoyancy decreases and vice-versa.
Boats are able to stay afloat because of the force caused by buoyancy. This simply means that, a boat is able to float because the volume of water it displaces weigh more than its own weight. Thus, if a boat or any physical object weighs more than the volume of water it displaces, it would sink; otherwise, it floats.

Answer:
<em><u>D. Cytoskeleton</u></em>
Explanation:
It is really none of these answers. The correct answer would be a microtubule which is a component of the cytoskeleton which is in the cytoplasm.
The Cell Walls are only in plant cells so that won't work. So, A wouldn't work.
Chromosomes are the things that both your parents give you as genes. They have nothing to do with keeping the structure of the cell alright.
Cytoplasm cannot be a answer choice because, the thing is in it but, it doesn't do anything with it. So C wouldn't work either
The correct answer is microtubule however, it is a component of cytoskeleton so therefore, that is your answer.
