Food
Controlling _____________ aids in energy production
Water flow
Controlling _______ in our body helps sustain life
Fluids
What does flow rate measure
How quickly fluids flow can be affected by: Type of fluid, force on fluid, size of opening fluid is going through, surface fluid is on
Viscosity
Thickness or resistance
High viscosity and example
Slow moving - glue, honey, slime
Low viscosity and example
Fast moving - water, milk, liquid soap
Cohesion
Force of attraction between particles
The ______ the fouid, the less cohesion there is
Thinner
Cohesion on the surface of the liquid
Surface tension
