What is a consequence of the specific heat capacity for liquid water, ice and water vapor

Biology

Arisa [49]3 years ago

<em>Water has unique chemical characteristics in all three states—solid, liquid, and gas—thanks to the ability of its molecules to hydrogen bond with one another. Since living things, from human beings to bacteria, have a high water content, understanding the unique chemical features of water in its three states is key to biology. </em>

<em>In liquid water, hydrogen bonds are constantly being formed and broken as the water molecules slide past each other. The breaking of these bonds is caused by the energy of motion (kinetic energy) of the water molecules due to the heat contained in the system. </em>

<em>When the heat is raised (for instance, as water is boiled), the higher kinetic energy of the water molecules causes the hydrogen bonds to break completely and allows water molecules to escape into the air as gas. We observe this gas as water vapor or steam. </em>

<em>On the other hand, when the temperature drops and water freezes, water molecules form a crystal structure maintained by hydrogen bonding (as there is too little heat energy left to break the hydrogen bonds). This structure makes ice less dense than liquid water.</em>

1. What is the Photosynthesis EQUATION? What is being consumed and what is produced?
Alla [95]
1. 6CO2 + H2O -----> C6H12O6 + 02

2. The idea of photosynthesis or light dependent reactions is to convert solar/light energy into chemical energy by the form of ATP and NADPH. CO2 and Water are consumed and react to release Glucose and 02. Approximately 36-38 ATP produced.

3. Water is the source of hydrogen atoms in the glucose (sugar) created by the photosynthesis reaction.

4 .
Step 1) The light absorbed by chlorophyll causes a transfer of electrons and H+ from H20 molecules already present. This causes the H20 to split into molecular 0xygen (02) and a H+ ion.

Step 2.) The O2 is released (we breathe it) and the H+ bonds to NADP+ creating NADPH

Step 3) ATP is formed through photophosphorylation. (ADP gets a phosphate group added to it creating ATP)

Step 4.) The NADPH and the ATP created here go on to fuel the reactions in the second part of photosynthesis - The Calvin Cycle

5. The Calvin cycle is a metabolic process that uses the carbon from carbon dioxide, along with energy in the form of ATP, to produce sugar.
A G3P molecule contains three fixed carbon atoms, so it takes two G3Ps to build a six-carbon glucose molecule. It would take six turns of the cycle.

6. To help synthesize carbohydrates for energy

7. In fixation, the first stage of the Calvin cycle, light-independent reactions are initiated; CO2 is fixed from an inorganic to an organic molecule. In the second stage, ATP and NADPH are used to reduce 3-PGA into G3P; then ATP and NADPH are converted to ADP and NADP +, respectively

The long-horned beetle highlighted in the emergency declaration on the previous page is native to
Katarina [22]

Answer:

Asian continent specifically China and Korea country

Explanation:

The long horned beetle is native to the Asian continent specifically China and Korea country . These long horned beetles are long in size and can be easily identified because of their horns or antennae.  

They feed upon the tree barks, branches and trunk and make them hollow or full of cavity. They also feed upon poplars, maples, elms and mulberries  

This leads to structural weakening of trees
