What else can I help you with?
An insect is able to walk across the surface of a pond without sinking because of the?
Insects are able to walk across bodies of water without sinking because of their weight. Insects weigh literally nothing.
An insect is able to walk on water because of the property known as?
surface tension. This property is caused by the cohesive forces between water molecules, which allow the insect to stay on the water's surface without sinking.
The water strider is an insect that skates across the water without sinking The tips of its feet should be coated with molecules that are?
Hydrophobic, meaning they repel water, which helps the water strider stay afloat. This allows the insect to utilize surface tension to stay on top of the water while moving.
How can insect walk on water?
the surface tension on the top of the water so if you look at a glass of water when it is full and about to overflow there is a hump thing its not flat that is how they can walk on water
Why can you pour a glass of water to the rim of the glass?
it's called "surface tension". It is the property of the surface of a liquid which causes it to behave like an elastic sheet. This is why a "water strider" insect can skate across the surface of a pond without sinking into the water. It is also what causes a drop of water - the surface tension of the water pulls it into a ball.
What property of the structure of water allows water spiders to walk across the surface of a pond?
it is when water molecules in the water form a 'wall'.Pond skaters have legs that spread out away from their bodies, lowering the pressure exerted by their weight and not breaking the surface tension of the water
What is the insect that can survive without food for a month?
it's an insect it can survive for three monyhs without food
What characteristic of the exoskeleton protects the insect from dehydration?
Presence of chitin on the outer surface of the insect body
How insect bee or larva are found in the fruit without hole on surface?
no idea on bees but on larva maybe there is a hole its just too small to see.
why water stick insect lives on the surface of the pond?
The insect uses the waters surface tension to walk where others can’t. His only problem comes from below.
How can insect float on water?
due to surface tension
What special property of liquid is shown when an insect walks on the surface of water?
A high surface tension
