It generally doesn't - only energy is propagated, not matter.

Yea, they told me that, but I got wet. The water doesn't travel as much as the energy in a compressive wave. But an ocean water wave, especially near shore, looks a lot like a transverse wave.

Does then wave transport water molecules from the source of vibration?

No, a sound wave does not physically transport water molecules from the source of vibration. Sound waves are variations in air pressure that travel through a medium, such as water, but they do not carry or transport the actual molecules of the medium.


Is the wave transport water molecules from the source of vibration?

Water does not travel along with the wave. As the wave moves over the water, each little piece of water moves up and down and forward and back, but after the wave has moved on the water is in the same place. That is a common feature of wave motion. The energy is passed along the wave but the medium itself does not move with the wave.


Does the wave transport water molecules from the source of the vibration?

scientifically we believe that waves are a movement thus waves are able to transport matter (e.g water waves at the ocean are able to take dead aquatic plants/animals from inside to the beach sand).


What compound is the source of electrons for linear electron flow?

In linear electron flow in the light reactions of photosynthesis, water is the source of electrons. The process involves the splitting of water molecules to release electrons, which are then used to reduce the electron carrier molecules in the electron transport chain.


What causes water to be warm?

The amount of vibration of the individual molecules (H2O) in the water determines its temperature.


How many water molecules are formed in the electron transport chain?

During oxidative phosphorylation, which is part of the electron transport chain, a total of 6 water molecules are formed when oxygen is reduced to form water at the end of the chain.


Is water an active or passive transport?

Water can use both passive and active transport mechanisms. Passive transport involves movement of water molecules across a membrane without the need for energy, while active transport involves the use of energy to move water molecules against their concentration gradient.


What are three main sorces of work in Alaska?

water source, energy source and transport source


What does vibration have to do with waves?

Vibration is the source of waves. When an object vibrates, it creates disturbances in a medium, like air or water, that propagate as waves. The frequency of the vibration determines the frequency of the resulting wave.


What happens when a tuning fork is dipped into water?

it will fizz because the vibration will shake the water and create a motor effect


Where do the electrons come from that are processed in the electron transport chain?

Hydrogen molecules of water


What is the source of electrons that will reduce DPIP?

The source of electrons that will reduce DPIP is usually a plant extract or isolated chloroplasts. In the process of photosynthesis, electrons are transferred from water to DPIP through the photosynthetic electron transport chain, leading to the reduction of DPIP.
