The _____ of water molecules explains how some insects can walk on water

Biology

Minchanka [31]1 year ago

<span>Water has a surface skin. Some insects are able to generate tiny bubbles under their bodies which makes them buoyant enough to not break thru the water's skin. This skin is also known as surface tension. </span><span>Some bugs and small objects (pins or paperclips, etc) can rest on the surface of the water due to surface tension. Water molecules are bipolar and attract each other forming a skin. The bug or paperclip make tiny depressions in the water skin which provides buoyancy. A detergent will ruin the water tension (because it is a wetting agent) and the bug or paperclip will sink.</span><span>

Osmosis causes water to move from areas of low salt concentration to areas of high salt concentration. The internal NaCl concent
WITCHER [35]
<span>Red blood cells normally have a biconcave shape (picture a donut, but instead of a hole through the centre there's just a downward slope to the centre of the cell). If the cell takes on water, it will increase in size and the sloped areas will start to flatten out. If the cell loses water, it will begin to shrivel. Use these observations and your understanding of osmosis to answer the question!</span>
