Q16.A needle can be made to "float" on the surface tension of water. What causes this surface tension to form?

Biology

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]2 years ago

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Water has surface tension due to cohesion that allows it to 'stick' together. This cohesion is created by the fact that water is polar and has unequal distribution of charges. The oxygen becomes slightly negative as it is surrounded by positive hydrogen. In turn, the hyrdogen becomes slightly positive.

This means that the hydrogen molecule is temporarily attracted to the oxygen of another molecule. This causes surface tension and allows light objects to float on top of it

Identify and describe the various satellites the orbit in our solar system.
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

Explanation:

The seven largest natural satellites in the solar system (over 2,500 km in diameter) are the four Jovian Galilean moons - Ganymede, Callisto, Io, and Europa - Saturn's moon Titan, Earth's own Moon, and the satellite captured natural of Neptune Triton.

They move around a larger body. They revolve around these bodies because of their gravitational pull. The orbits that they describe when turning on these bodies can be regular or irregular.

Natural satellites of planets in the Solar System

Mercury → 0.

Venus → 0.

Earth → 1.

Mars → 2.

Jupiter → 79.

Saturn → 82.

Uranus → 27.

Neptune → 14.

What are the important events and end products of light reaction
german

Answer:

The important events of light reaction are (i) Excitation of chlorophyll molecule to emit a pair of electrons and use of their energy in the formation of ATP from ADP + Pi. This process is called photophosphorylation. Splitting of water molecule (a) (b) End products of light reaction are NADPH and ATP.

A researcher designs an experiment to investigate the effect of environmental temperature on the function of an enzyme. For each
kolbaska11 [484]
<h2>Correct answer is option "A"</h2>

Explanation:

  • The initial concentration of the substrate(Keeping the initial substrate concentration steady permits the specialist to think about the response rates under various natural conditions. The response rates will furnish the scientist with data about the protein's capacity in various situations).
  • A substrate is a substance that is used to make a final product. It is changed and reformed during the process. Sometimes chemical groups are added or taken away.
  • In the cell, enzymes bind and change substrates into their final product. When the enzyme is bound to the substrate, it is known as an enzyme-substrate complex.
  • Substrate concentration is the amount of substrate present that can be turned into a product. The unit of measurement usually assigned to eggs is dozen. Substrate concentration can be measured in various ways. Since the substrates inside the cell are suspended in cellular fluid, the substrate concentration is most commonly measured in molar concentration, or molarity (M), which is moles per liter.
  • Hence,the correct answer is option A "the initial concentration of the substrate.

Question #2<br> In what way do pathogens cause infection and disease?
Dovator [93]
Pathogens generally invade the body, in their invasion they can duplicate and cause confusion such as hijacking your cells, thus they cause infection and disease. Some of these pathogens are spread through air, sweat, blood, excrete (urine/feces), or general human contact with anything concealing the pathogen.
