How does the surface tension of water impact living things?
.surface tension of water helps creatures(mostly of insecta class such as water striders) to walk on water.
.it also helps water to move up the xylem tissue of higher plants without breaking up.
This nature of surface gives water two major characteristics: i) makes water surface appear as though it is a stretched smooth surface and ii) makes whole water as a one compact of molecules held together. The first characteristic is one that helps insects walk on water, and the second helps water move up xylem tissues of higher plants as one column. Surface tension results from hydrogen bonding in water molecules, meaning water molecules are held together by force, making water surface appear like a net. the force of attraction between water molecules is called cohesion force.

Surface tension of water impacts living things by allowing certain organisms to walk or move on the water's surface, facilitating activities such as hunting, mating, and escaping predators. Additionally, surface tension enables capillary action, assisting plants in drawing water and nutrients from the soil.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
