Holding a Baseball requires sustained muscle contraction to maintain grip, which involves continuous ATP consumption for energy. Unlike other tasks that may be brief or require less force, gripping a ball engages multiple muscle fibers over a longer duration, leading to higher ATP demand. Additionally, the isometric nature of holding a weight puts more strain on muscles, necessitating more ATP to maintain the contraction.
That takes energy. Normal diffusion means that the molecules move away from each other (in other words ... to where there are less molecules).
The liquid has a definite volume because its molecules are packed closely together, but it takes the shape of the container due to its ability to flow and conform to its surroundings. This characteristic allows liquids to be poured and moved easily.
liquid
Solid: Molecules are tightly packed together into a fixed shape, so the molecules only have room to vibrate in place. ex: a classroom Liquid: Molecules have room to spread out and can slide past each other and takes the shape of the container it's in. ex: a hallway Gas: Molecules have room to go wherever and don't touch each other but still takes form of it's container. ex: outside; parking lot
The intermolecular bonds between water molecules are hydrogen bonds.
molecules and atoms
As a liquid evaporates, molecules with higher kinetic energy leave the liquid surface, which results in a decrease in the average kinetic energy of the remaining molecules and, therefore, a decrease in temperature. This cooling effect is due to the energy required to break the intermolecular bonds holding the liquid molecules together during evaporation.
Endocytosis is the process by which the cell takes in molecules by engulfing them in vesicles formed from the cell membrane. Exocytosis, on the other hand, is the process by which cells release molecules by fusing vesicles containing the molecules with the cell membrane, thereby expelling the contents outside the cell.
Ice melting typically takes longer than water freezing because melting requires the addition of heat energy to break the bonds holding the solid water molecules together. In contrast, freezing involves the removal of heat energy to slow down the movement of water molecules and form a solid structure.
Evaporation - the fastest molecules escape 1. When a Liquid is heated, the heat energy goes to the molecules, which makes them move faster. 2. Some molecules move faster than others. 2. Fast-moving molecules at the surface will overcome the forces of attraction from the other molecules and escape. This is Evaporation.
