Answer:

Intermolecular forces. Water is a dipole and acts like a magnet, with the oxygen end having a negative charge and the hydrogen end having a positive charge. These charged ends can attract other water molecules.

Answer:

Intermolecular forces

Water is a dipole and acts like a magnet, with the oxygen end having a negative charge and the hydrogen end has a positive charge. These charged ends can attract other water molecules.

The entire electron densities of the two hydrogen atoms get attracted towards the oxygen atom. Thus a polarity develops in each O−H bond, and therefore, the water molecules are polar in nature and act like little magnets.

Do all cells undergo Mitosis frequently? Why or why not?

Zina [86]

It really depends on the type of cell and the replacement rate. Mitosis or cell division occurs in places where the cells get damaged easily. For example, skin cells frequently divide and undergo mitosis because they are replaced very often. On the contrary, heart cells never get replaced and actually never really undergo mitosis (there is no need for it)

If the ribosomes of a cell were destroyed, what effect would this most likely have on the cell?

nikdorinn [45]

Since the Ribosomes are often referred to as the "powerhouse" of a cell, the cell would basically shut down. And also the Ribosomes are the place where the proteins for a cell are made, so if the Ribosomes shut down, the cell won't have any proteins or energy to do all its processes.
