Question 262

Brownian motion can be observed when pollen grains suspended in water are viewed under a microscope.

What causes the pollen grains to move in a random, jerky manner?

A

The pollen grains are carried by convection currents in the water.

B

The pollen grains are struck by constantly moving, invisible water molecules.

C

The pollen grains have different sizes and sink at different speeds.

D

The pollen grains repel each other due to static electrical charges.
