The gecko is a reptile that has the amazing ability to climb smooth surfaces - even glass. Recent discoveries indicate that geckos stick to smooth surfaces via van der Waals interactions between septae on their feet and the smooth surface. When not selling car insurance, geckos climb smooth surfaces.
a. How is this method of stickiness advantageous to the gecko over covalent interactions?
b. Given that van der Waals forces are among the weakest molecular interactions, how can the gecko's feet stick so effectively?

Astudent sees several ants walking up a wall following the exact same trail that an ant took earlier. she wants to apply the scientific method to determine how the ants detected the trail. which of these steps would come first in her application of the scientific method? perform an experiment by cleaning the scent away from part of the trail. draw a conclusion that the ants follow a scent trail. make a prediction about what the ants will do after she cleans away part of the trail. hypothesize that the ants are following a scent trail that the first ant left.
