either to scare away enemies or attract other whales
They avoid water. (The word "hydrophobic" literally means "water-fearing" :D )
Yes, some whale species live in warm water environments. For example, species like humpback whales, Bryde's whales, and sperm whales can be found in tropical and subtropical regions where the water is warm. These whales have adaptations to thrive in these environments.
No, the hydrophobic tails of the plasma membrane do not directly promote osmosis. Osmosis is the movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of high water concentration to an area of low water concentration. The hydrophilic heads of the plasma membrane allow water molecules to pass through, while the hydrophobic tails help maintain the structural integrity of the membrane.
The phospholipid tails of the plasma membrane are hydrophobic, meaning they repel water molecules. This non-polar characteristic prevents water and other hydrophilic substances from easily passing through the membrane. The arrangement of these tails in a bilayer creates a barrier, allowing the membrane to maintain its integrity and regulate the movement of materials in and out of the cell.
Water lilies, cat tails, water iris, duckweed, algae, etc
Whales swim using their fins and tails.
All whales are propelled through the water by the up and down movement of their tails.
yes dolphins have tails, they use it to hit there prey and have babies.
No. Sharks, being fish, have vertical tails, while whales, being mammals, have horizontal tails.
this is know as lobtailing
whales,whales stop cutting of thier tails.....
Whales' tails move up and down when they swim, just like peoples' legs.
yes they do
Whales are mammals that breathe air and fish draw oxygen from the water. whales have live birth instead of eggs and parent there offspring. whales have skin not scales. whales also have special long teeth which you only see in bottom feeder fish. And fish have vertical tails that they move side to side to swim, whales have horizontal tails that they move up and down to swim. Whales have to take in oxygen cuz they are mammels and fish take oxygen from the water through gills also whales can use echo location.
whales whales stop cutting off their tails
Sort of. The Sperm whales tail is about 6-7 metres long.
They have the tail and their flippers. Some whales have vestigial(undeveloped) leg bones embedded in their tails.
