How does the sharklet film protect against bacteria?

Chemistry
1 answer:
babunello [35]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The sharklet film creates a phenomenon reffed to as  mechanotransduction.

Explanation:

It was discovered that sharks do not experience fouling , their skin is made in a distinct manner with diamond patterns that will discourage micro organism from settling on it.

Through the process of mechanotransduction, mechanical stress is created to the bacteria whereby they cannot attach themselves to the surface because it makes them to produce more energy to settle on the surface thus they may keep off from the surface. In this manner, bacteria is inhibited from attacking these areas protected by the sharklet film.

Currently proven global reserves are expected to be largely exhausted within the next 50 years. Uranium-238 A Coal B Natural gas
Komok [63]

Answer:

Option (D)

Explanation:

Oil (crude and petroleum) is one of the major resources on earth in which the economy of a country is largely dependent on. These are non-renewable resources, which take thousands to million years of years in order to form.

It is highly essential. Every day, a large quantity of oil is being consumed. According to the researches done in the year 2015, it has been observed that the average global consumption of oil was 95 million barrels each day.

It has a high demand, and so it is being regularly used, and it has also been predicted that the present global oil reserves would be highly exhausted within the next 50 years.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).

lassify these bonds as ionic, polar covalent, or nonpolar covalent. Ionic Polar covalent Nonpolar covalent
jarptica [38.1K]

The question is incomplete, complete question is:

Classify these bonds as ionic, polar covalent, or nonpolar covalent.

Na-F

P-Cl

Cl-Cl

Answer:

Na-F  : The bond present is ionic bond.

PCl  : The bond present is polar covalent bond.

ClCl  : The bond present is non polar covalent bond.

Explanation:

1) Ionic bonds are defined as the bonds which are formed by the complete transfer of electrons from cation (positively charged ions) to anion (negatively charged ions). For Example: NaCl, BaSO_4 etc.

Ionic compound :This compound is formed when difference in electronegativity between the atoms is very large.

2) Covalent bond is defined as the bond which is formed by the sharing of electrons between the atoms. For Example: HCl, CH_4 etc.

Polar covalent compound: This compound is formed when difference in electronegativity between the atoms is present. When atoms of different elements combine, it results in the formation of polar covalent bond. For Example: CO_2,NO_2 etc..

Non-polar covalent compound: This compound is formed when there is no difference in electronegativity between the atoms. When atoms of the same element combine, it results in the formation of non-polar covalent bond. For Example: N_2,O_2 etc.

Na-F  : Two different atoms with high electronegativity difference

Ionic compound because sodium is metal and fluorine is non metal and the difference between their electronegativity is very large.The bond present is ionic bond.

PCl  : Two different atoms with low electronegativity difference

Polar covalent  compound because phosphorus and fluorine both are non metal and the difference between their electronegativity is not very large.The bond present is polar covalent bond.

ClCl  : Two same atoms with nil electronegativity difference.

Non Polar covalent compound because both are chlorine atom (non metal) and the difference between their electronegativity is zero.The bond present is non polar covalent bond.
