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.

Answer:

x is CO2

y is H2O

Explanation:

An organic compound that contains carbon and hydrogen is called a hydrocarbon.

When a hydrocarbon is burnt in air (combustion) only two products are obtained; carbon dioxide and water. The carbon dioxide comes from the carbon component of the molecule while the water comes from the hydrogen component of the molecule.

Therefore, for a hydrocarbon CxHy we obtain; xCO2 and (x + 1)H2O as products.
