Ice floats because:
Correct answer: A. It is less dense than water
- A. It is less dense than water
- B. It is more dense than water
- C. It occupies less space than water
- D. It occupies more space than water
Explanation
Therefore, the correct statement for why ice floats is A becuase water has a unique property, as it expands when temperature falls below 4°C. Water is most heavy at 4°C, therefore ice (solid water) is less dense then liquid water and this is that ice float is liquid water.

About Biological Molecules
The chapter covers water's polarity and biological roles, carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids, including their monomers, bonds, structures and functions. It also distinguishes RNA from DNA and explains conjugated molecules such as glycoproteins, glycolipids and nucleoproteins, which combine organic molecules with a non-protein component.
