How does surface tension helps organisms?
Surface tension helps organisms in the sense that it allows for a wide variety of biological phenomena. For instance, some water insects are able to walk on water due to surface tension.
What keeps a water strider on the surface of water.?
One force I am positive about is surface tension- I can't explain too well because I am barely learning about this. I hope this answer helps you! =)

Why is water surface tension important for organisms?
surface tension divides the bad germs around the surface of the water
What is the the force that helps water molecules to be atracted to each other?
surface tension
What force helps a ship float?
displacement of water
What is the effect of detergent on the surface tension?
Detergent has the effect of reducing the size of the water molecules thereby reducing the surface tension of the water. This allows for the small water molecules to integrate themselves farther into fabric to remove contaminants.
What helps tiny plantlike organisms grow at the surface of the ocean?
sunlight is the correct answer. 100%.
How concentration affect surface tension?
As the strength of intermolecular forces(IMFs) increases, vapor pressure decreases. This is because when IMFs are stronger it is harder for the compound to go to the gas phase, this means that the pressure the compound is exerting on the surrounding environment is lower.
What is the function of detergent?
Detergents are surfactants, meaning that they lower the surface tension of liquids. This helps them clean materials and remove stains.
Surfactant helps to prevent the alveoli from collapsing by what?
Interfering with the cohesiveness of water molecules, thereby reducing the surface tension of alveolar fluid.
What do cohesive surface tension and adhesion have in common with reference to water?
Cohesion: When things stick to each other (WATER) Adhesion: When things stick to other things (ALSO WATER) Surface Tension: a property of the surface of a liquid that causes it to behave as an elastic sheet. Think of it as the thing that helps insects to glide along the water. (ALSO WATER)
