How does hydrogen bonds cohesion and surface tension allow some insects and animals to walk on water?

The answer is pretty simple, and has to so with properties of water, mostly, not insects. Water molecules are polar molecules containing Oxygen and Hydrogen. This allows them to form hydrogen bonds when in close proximity to each-other (hydrogen bonds are a strong type of Inter-molecular force.) The molecules on the surface, however, have less water molecules near them, and so form stronger hydrogen bonds with nearby water molecules. Some insects, like the iconic water strider, have large feet to displace their weight over a large area, and thus avoid breaking the surface hydrogen bonds, which allows them to "walk on water."

Do fleas swim?

Mmmm, here's the deal. Insects can survive in water for a while because they breathe through their bodies and small bubbles of air cling to the minute hairs on their bodies. You can't get rid of fleas by submerging the animal in water, it just won't work. Not to mention air is also trapped in the animal's fur. You really need some sort of "flux" to get the air off them and poison the bugs. Shampoo for fleas is great as it also has a poison for fleas, but if you don't have any and can't get any, a good human shampoo will do in a punch and usually works if you lather up the animal, rinse, lather and rinse. It will usually kill the fleas off and they'll wash off the body with a good rinsing. Make sure to use your hands and really massage and scrub. Good luck

How does man changes his environment?

People that plant things change their environment. Plants provide oxygen and take in carbon dioxide. The more you plant, the more oxygen you aid in putting into their air and the more carbon dioxide you aid in removing from the air.

People that build damns try to control a water source. Check out the Mississippi flooding zones. People put up their levies and damns. This changes the natual flood path. But, the flood path gets narrower and higher. This will impact the water draining from the northern areas, especially after a major rainfall.

How about toxic chemicals produced that have a long shelf life that somehow seep into the ground or water sources? That is bound to have an effect. There are facilities that store nuclear waste. This has to been maintained by human beings. If they aren't doing their jobs properly, things can happen.

Think about when you are driving through different towns. Notice all of the litter and debris. People that aren't responsible and pick up after themselves just toss things outside... if no one picks it up, it stays there. If it's biodegradable .. okay. Good, I suppose.

And when mother nature and mankind work together to wreak havoc... let's say a tornado passes through a pretty big town. And no clean-up crews or anyone pick up things.... all those houses and businesses have cleaning supplies, automotive chemicals, etc. One house may be no big thing. But, every place a tornado demolishes will probably have those things. A lot of those things are harmful if not fatal to humans. Can't be that good for plants or animals, either.

Also.. there are people that don't take antibiotics right - as well as a few other things. They aid in creating these superbugs that are resistant to antibiotics. Well... those nasty bugs are bound to do some nasty things to people... possibly even animals. People are part of the environment. I don't care who you ask. Animals consume however many insects and plants in their lifetime. Specific animals go after specific things. So, something bad enough could affect the balance between the current human, animal, plant, insect, arachnid, fungus popluations.

In no way is this list complete or 100% scientificly correct. This is what makes sense to me. People affect their environment in a lot of ways. Good and bad. I hope this info helps steer you towards the proper answers you need.

Are insects born live?

Most insects are not born alive; they typically lay eggs, from which larvae or nymphs emerge after a period of development. However, some species, like certain cockroaches and aphids, exhibit viviparity, giving birth to live young instead of laying eggs. This variation in reproductive strategies allows insects to adapt to different environmental conditions.
