The organelle that helps skin cells withstand friction and tension is the desmosome. Desmosomes are specialized cell junctions that provide strong adhesion between neighboring cells in tissues subjected to mechanical stress, like the skin. They consist of proteins that form strong connections to anchor cells together and prevent them from separating under tension.
What else can I help you with?
Is friction an external force?
Yes, friction is an external force that opposes the relative motion or tendency of motion between two surfaces in contact. It is caused by the interaction of molecules at the surface of the two objects.
How to increase friction?
To increase friction between two surfaces, you can use materials with rougher surfaces, increase the normal force pushing the surfaces together, or use external factors like adhesives or rough coatings to enhance the grip between the surfaces. By increasing the interlocking between the two surfaces, you can effectively raise the frictional force.
Can there be a frictional force between two surfaces when there is no relative motion between the two?
Yes, friction can occur between two surfaces even when there is no relative motion. This type of friction is called static friction and acts to prevent the surfaces from sliding past each other. Static friction can build up as long as an external force trying to move the surfaces is resisted by an equal and opposite force of friction.
What 1 what can we increase friction acting on an object?
To increase friction acting on an object, you can increase the roughness of the surfaces in contact, increase the force pressing the surfaces together, or add external factors like sand or adhesive materials between the surfaces to create more resistance.
What are the two external forces?
The two external forces are friction and air resistance. Friction is the force opposing motion when two surfaces are in contact, while air resistance is the force acting in the opposite direction to an object's motion as it moves through the air.

What are 3 types of friction and how are they different?
The three types of friction are static friction, kinetic friction, and rolling friction. Static friction occurs when an object is at rest and resists an external force trying to move it. Kinetic friction happens when two surfaces are sliding past each other. Rolling friction occurs when an object rolls over a surface, such as a wheel or a ball. The main difference between them is the type of motion involved and how they are affected by the surfaces in contact.
Can three surfaces create friction?
Yes, anything from 2 surfaces creates friction.
Do smooth surface produce friction?
Yes, smooth surfaces can still produce friction. Friction is caused by the resistance between two surfaces when they are in contact with each other, not only by the texture of the surfaces. Smooth surfaces can still generate friction, although the amount of friction may be lower compared to rough surfaces.
What are the factors that determine the amount of friction between two surfaces?
The factors that determine the amount of friction between two surfaces include the roughness of the surfaces, the force pressing the surfaces together, and the types of materials involved. Friction increases with rougher surfaces, higher forces, and when the materials have a high coefficient of friction.
How does the roughness of surfaces that are touching affect the friction betwen the surfaces?
Rough surfaces will have more contact points, creating more friction due to the increased resistance between the surfaces. Smoother surfaces have less contact points, resulting in lower friction because there is less resistance between the surfaces.
The two common forms of friction between two sliding surfaces presented in this course are. And kinetic friction?
Static
When energy is released when friction is applied?
friction creates heat. Largely heat, which comes from the external agent energy causing the friction. Also some possible rearrangement of the atomic/molecular structure of the surface, and the energy for that also comes from the external agent.
