Acidic solutions have pH of less than 7. Neutral have pH of 7. Basic solutions have pH higher than 7.
Answer:
Hydrogen bonds make water molecules spread out when they freeze. This makes ice less dense than water and allows ice to float. If ice did not float then oceans and lakes would freeze from the bottom up, killing marine life by trapping organisms in the ice. When ice floats, it insulates the water below, keeping it at around 4 degrees C or 40F, which does not freeze and allows fish to survive the winter.
Explanation:
The second law of thermodynamics states that not all of the energy is used because some of the energy is lost in the form of heat. The lost heat energy is an unusable form of energy, and it causes an increase in the entropy of the universe. Thus, no energy transfer process is efficient due to the loss of energy.
Since the liver is the primary organ for metabolism, then in the setting of liver injury there will be reduced metabolism of compounds such as hormones. If these hormones are not metabolized and degraded in the liver, then these hormone levels will increase.
<em>A particular example is that the hormone estrogen is increased in the setting of liver damage, causing males with liver failure to have feminine characteristics.</em>
