C) produce additional ER. D) undergo cell division. E) produce replacement lysosomes. 20) Rough endoplasmic reticulum A) contains ribosomes for protein synthesis. B) creates an enormous surface area for cell metabolism C) contains a compartment to transfer and modify products of metabolism D) all of the above 21) The function of mitochondria is
True or False: Liquid oxygen should have a larger surface tension than liquid bromine (assuming T and P are the same for both liquids). False: Surface tension of liquids increase as Intermolecular Force strength increases. Both O2 and Br2 are non-polar molecules, and have only dispersion forces. Those dispersion forces are stronger for Br2, however, since it has many more electrons (70 vs. 16) than does O2.
Surface tension The property of the surface of a liquid that allows it to resist an external force, due to the cohesive nature of its molecules. The cohesive forces between liquid molecules are responsible for the phenomenon known as surface tension.urface Tension and Droplets: Surface tension is responsible for the shape of liquid droplets. Although easily deformed, droplets of water tend to be pulled into a spherical shape by the cohesive forces of the surface layer.
