What makes molecules polar: an uneven distribution of electrons between the oxygen and hydrogen atoms.

- So, a water molecule is polar because there is an uneven distribution of electrons between the oxygen and hydrogen atoms.

- Water has a neutral charge.

- Because of their partial positive and negative charges, polar molecules, such as water, attract each other like magnets.

- The attraction between a hydrogen atom with a partial negative charge and another atom with a partial positive charge is called a hydrogen bond.

- Because water is a polar molecule, it is able to form multiple hydrogen bonds, which is why water has many special properties (hydrogen bonds are the strongest bonds that can form between molecules).

Answer:

Herbivorous animals are unable to feed and end up migrating to other regions in search of food.

Explanation:

The tundra is a type of vegetation composed almost exclusively of mosses and lichens. This type of vegetation is found in regions with a polar climate. It is important to note that the tundra has a very fast vegetative cycle. That's because it freezes quickly and can be covered with ice all winter. This ends up modifying the lives of some animals that feed on this vegetation. These animals end up with unavailability of food and need to migrate to others in search of food.

How does carbon moves from the atmosphere to the biosphere?

maks197457 [2]

Answer:

Via a range of pathways, carbon travels from one storage reservoir to another. In the food chain, for example, plants, by photosynthesis, transfer carbon from the atmosphere into the biosphere. Respiration, excretion, and decomposition release the fuel, continuing the cycle, back into the atmosphere or soil.
