Answer:

disrupting membrane integrity                

Explanation:

Surfactants work by disrupting membrane integrity. Surfactants disrupt cell membrane integrity by absorbing at the cell membrane and destroying the cell membranes bilayer thus lowering the surface tension of the cell which results in leaky spots resulting in the cell being more permeable.

Answer: surfactants works by disrupting membrane integrity.

Explanation:

Surfactants are surface active chemical agents( soap and detergents) that has the ability to alter the interfacial tension between two liquids or between liquid and solids. They are amphiphilic organic compounds which plays important role as

- dispersing agents

- emulsifying agents and

- foaming agents.

Their mechanism of action is through disruption of membrane integrity and create emulsions that mechanically carry away microbes. I hope this helps, thanks.

There are several properties of water that make Earth a suitable environment for life, including water's high boiling point and
Trava [24]

Answer: D.) It allows water to resist freezing and thawing cycles.

The ability of the water molecule to absorb and retain heat is called as heat capacity of water, because of this property the temperature of water remains the same for long, irrespective of the external environment. It allows water to resist freezing and thawing cycles because water molecules will resist change in it's temperature. This temperature regulation will prevent instant heating and cooling, hence, will provide suitable environment for the survival of marine organisms.

Answer: 6 m

Identify the given information.

w = 1500 J

f = 250 N

Choose which formula you should use. In this case, you are finding the distance.

d = w/f

Substitute and solve.

d = 1500 J/250 N

d = 6 m
