∙ 14y agoThe water molecules describe a roughly circular or eliptical motion as the wave pases. Those nearest the surface are also likely to be moved slightly in the direction of the wave.

When an electric current passes through water it causes the water to start to combust?
no, when an eletric current passes through water, it causes the water to start to decompose into hydrogen and oxygen
Which term describe the movement of water molecules in and out of a cell?
its not homeostasis
What is the sequence where water passes through the atmosphere and on the earth's surface?
water cycle.
Some plants have an internal system of tube like structures through which water and food move this tissue is called?
water passes through xylem and food passes through phloem.
How does osmosis explain the movement of water across cell membranes?
Osmosis is the movement of water from a solution of high concentration to a solution of lower concentration through a membrane. Water passes through the membrane, diluting the solution of higher concentration on the other side, until both solutions on either side of the membrane have equal concentrations.
What is the movement of water through diffusion called?
Osmosis is the movement of water across the cell membrane or the movement of water through diffusion. :)
When an electric current passes through water it causes the water to start to combust?
no, when an eletric current passes through water, it causes the water to start to decompose into hydrogen and oxygen
How does light move through water?
Water is tranparent; light passes through it.
What is osmosis?
osmosis is a movement of a fluid that passes through a semipermable membrane
How do bivalves obtain food?
Bivalves feed by filtering food from the water as it passes through their gills. They have specialized gills that capture food as it passes through with the water.
When an electric current passes through water what new substances form?
whe n a eletric current passes through water what new substance forms
Why does the the water passes through the filter paper but not the cornstarch?
The water actually passes through the filter paper and the cornstarch. However, the cornstarch does not pass through the filter because the molecules are to large.
Which term describe the movement of water molecules in and out of a cell?
its not homeostasis
Describe the movement of particles through a green leaf?
The vasculature inside the green leaf moves a number of particles of food, water, minerals and gases.
How would you describe the motion of a buoy when a water wave passes?
It is a damped harmonic motion.
What is the movement of potassium into an animal cell requires?
The movement of potassium into an animal cell requires an energy source such as ATP or a proton gradient. Water passes quickly through cell membranes because it moves through aquaporins in the membrane.
What happens to food when it passes through the colon?
When food passes through the colon, water is absorbed to transform the food waste into feces.
