Which of the following statements best explains why leaves are able to rest on the surface of water? Select 2 choices

A. The cohesive forces between water molecules produce surface tension.
B. Water is cohesive because the water molecules are attracted to each other by hydrogen bonds.
C. The capillary action of water molecules causes water to stick to surfaces.
D. Adhesion is an attraction between molecules of different substances.
E. The solubility of water allows leaves to float on the surface of water.
F. The adhesive forces between water molecules cause water to stick to surfaces.

Cohesion: Water is attracted to water, and Adhesion: Water is attracted to other substances.

Probably B

plant because they survive by water, sunlight, ex.

explanation:

answer: decrease

a limiting factor is the one which decrease the abundance, distribution and causes extinction of the population of species in a ecosystem. here, predators including hawks, owls and snakes are the limiting factor for the population of mexican free tailed bat.   although bats are nocturnal animals as they forge for food at night these predators also may remain active during night which can decrease the population of the mexican free-tailed bats. also, these bats eat only one type of insects that are moths. the food can also be a limiting factor as all 400 members are dependent upon same type of food needs that are moths. the decrease in the moth population can cause decrease in population size of the mexican free-tailed bats.

therefore, the scenarios will most likely to decrease the population size of the mexican free-tailed bats.
