What structure in the membrane causes plasma membranes to resist freezing?

The presence of unsaturated fatty acids in lipid bilayers helps plasma membranes resist freezing by preventing the lipid molecules from packing tightly together. Unsaturated fatty acids create kinks in the lipid tails, increasing membrane fluidity and allowing the membrane to remain flexible at lower temperatures.


What are particles of a liquid that are pulled close together at the surface called?

The particles of a liquid that are pulled close together at the surface are called surface molecules. These molecules experience a greater cohesive force due to their interactions with neighboring molecules, leading to the phenomenon known as surface tension. Surface tension causes the liquid to behave as if its surface is covered by an elastic membrane, allowing it to resist external force.


What does high surface tension cause water to do?

High surface tension causes water to behave as if its surface had an elastic membrane, which was stretched. Due to water's high surface tension, effects like tears of wine and rain water beading on a leaf or grass happen.


What do you call the tendency of matter to stay at at rest if it is at rest of to to move if it is moving?

This tendency is known as inertia. Inertia is the property of matter that causes objects to resist changes in their motion.


True or false is chrome plating causes spatter to stick to the tip prolonging cleanup?

False. Chrome plating on tips is designed to resist spatter sticking, making cleanup easier.

What term describes the tendency of an object to resist a change in motion?

The term is inertia. It is the property of matter that causes objects to resist changes in their state of motion.


How can you prevent hot water from freezing in the air?

To prevent hot water from freezing in the air, you can ensure that the water is at a high enough temperature to resist freezing. Additionally, you can minimize exposure to cold air by keeping the water insulated or using a container with a lid to trap heat.


An objects tendency to resist acceleration is measured by?

An object's tendency to resist acceleration is measured by its inertia, which is the property of matter that causes an object to resist changes in its state of motion. The greater an object's mass, the greater its inertia and resistance to acceleration.


What is the rigid structure located outside the plasma membrane in plants?

The rigid structure located outside the plasma membrane in plants is called the cell wall. The cell wall provides structural support and protection to plant cells, helping them maintain their shape and resist osmotic pressure. It is made up of cellulose and other polysaccharides.


Which property of objects causes them to resist changes to their motion?

Inertia is an objects ability to resist motion. I think of inertia as an object's' mass (different from weight). Newton's second law (F = mass times acceleration) describes the interaction between force and an objects ability to resist motion.


Why does alcohol have to freeze at such a low temperature?

Alcohol has a low freezing point because its molecules are not as tightly packed compared to other substances. This causes them to move more freely, requiring lower temperatures to slow down and form a solid structure.


What is the prefix of resist?

How and why is Centrifical force involved in a spinning top?

Correctly termed centripetal acceleration, this phenomenon causes the top to resist accelerating in a different axis.

Is the tendecy of an object to resist a change in motion?

Yes, the tendency of an object to resist a change in its motion is known as inertia, which is a fundamental property of matter. Inertia causes objects to stay at rest or in motion unless acted upon by an external force.
