QUESTION:
Under which circumstances do plants take up water by osmosis?
ANSWER:
<u>The conditions necessary for occurring osmosis in plants</u>:–
- Presence of a concentration gradient.
- The solution separated by a semi permieable membrane should have different concentration.
- Presence of a semi permeable membrane.
Answer and explanation;
The hydrophobic effect is the observed tendency of non-polar substances to aggregate in an aqueous solution and exclude water molecules. Hydrophobic interaction is mostly an entropic effect originating from the disruption of highly dynamic hydrogen bonds between molecules of liquid water by the non-polar solute.
Introduction of such a non-hydrogen bonding surface into water causes disruption of the hydrogen bonding network between water molecules.
Water dissolves molecules (proteins and nucleic acids) that display on their solvent-accessible surfaces groups that can h-bond [hydroxyl, carbonyl, ester groups; they're polar uncharged...also charged groups; protonated amines, carboxylates and phosphate ethers.
Molecules with internal h-bonds dissolve in water, some/all internal h-bonds may be in dynamic exchange with h-bonds in water
.
Polar nature of water contributes to ability to dissolve non-ionic polar organic molecules, such as phenols, esters, amides; have large dipole moments and interaction with water dipole promotes solubility in water.
Answer:
Must pass a psychological exam
Explanation:
The writing materials,the envelopes and the stamps are all made of paper and this led to a great waste as the papers have to be disposed after use. This is not the case with electronic mails. Electronic mails do not need paper at all and it has drastically reduce the amount of papers that is used in writing letters.
I hope this helps :)
