The information that determines what an organism will be like is stored in the _____________ molecule.

Alchen [17]

<span>The information that determines what the organism will be like is the DNA molecule. It is made up of nucleotides. These nucleotides are linked chains. The four types of bases found in nucleotides are: adenine, thymine, guanine, cytosine. The order of the bases determines what instructions are contained on the strand. For example, say a strand shows ATCTT and say that presents in a person who has blue eyes while other eye colors would be a different code. Wach piece of code determines what the organism will be like based on those pairs.</span>

Why does the oxygen atom in a water molecule have a negative charge

rodikova [14]

In water molecule the electrons between the oxygen and the hydrogen are shared, but the sharing is not equal. Oxygen pulls electrons slightly towards itself. Therefore, the electrons are more near the oxygen, making that part of molecule(oxygen part) slightly negative. Since the electrons are not near the hydrogen so, that part of the molecule is slightly positive.

Explain how water's cohesive and adhesive properties are a result of its bonding among the atoms

vladimir1956 [14]

Water is a unique molecule which contains inter-molecular forces like vandar wall's forces and hydrogen bonding that results in extremely strong bonding forces among water molecules.

Cohesion and adhesion are the properties of water which refer to the fact that water molecules are not only very strongly attracted to water molecules but also to other polar molecules of any type.

This is the cohesive nature of the water which makes water a water drop and it is the adhesive nature of water due to which water takes the shape and available space in a glass or jar of water .

How these properties are a result of bonding between atoms?

Cohesive properties:

We are well aware of the fact that water is composed of one atom of oxygen and two atoms of Hydrogen.
The two hydrogen atoms align themselves in such a way that oxygen is in middle of them. Due to great electronegativity difference Oxygen gets a partial negative charge while Hydrogen atoms get partial positive charges.
Now one oxygen atom of one one water molecule attracts the partial positive charged hydrogen atom of another water molecule, and this attraction causes the bonding. This type of inter-molecular forces of atom gives water cohesive properties.

Adhesive properties:

If we talk about adhesive properties through which water is attracted to other materials of polar nature, these adhesive properties are also due to same nature of bonding.
Any polar compounds can easily get bonded with water due to polar nature of water molecules. You can see the attached figure for better understanding of bonding properties of water.

The _____ is the serous membrane that covers the abdominal organs.

lina2011 [118]

The abdominal cavity is lined by peritoneum. It is a membrane that covers the inner layer of the cavity and also the organs inside. The membrane on the inner wall is parietal Thperitonium and the membrane that lines the organ is called visceral peritoneum. This helps in fixation and support of abdominal organs.

The picture shows a model of a cell what is the main function of the part labeled y in the model

Pavel [41]

Answer:

the part that is labeled y helps the plant get water, since plants arent like us they need to have something in their cell to help them get water because they can't just get up and go get a drink like us.
