Which THREE statements correctly describe the properties of water?

Biology

grandymaker [24]3 years ago

<em>CORRECT STATEMENTS
> Water forms hydrogen bonds with other polar molecules. </em>
<em>> Water is a polar molecule. </em>
<em>> Water dissolves more ionic compounds.</em> 

<em />Water is a polar molecule because of its uneven distribution of electron density. It is made up of two hydrogen atoms and one positive atom.
Since water is a polar molecule, it forms hydrogen bonds with other polar molecules. Though these bonds are relatively weak, however, there are so many of them present in water. 
Water also dissolves most ionic compounds due to the fact that water is a universal solvent. When these compounds are added to water, there will be an interaction between the individual ions and the polar regions of the water molecules and disrupts the ionic bonds. 

<em>INCORRECT </em>
> Liquid water is less dense than water vapor. - Liquid water has a higher density than water vapor. The fact that water vapor rises indicates that it is less dense than water.

>Water dissolves more hydrophobic substances. - Hydrophobic substances do not dissolve easily in water. It is termed as 'hydrophobic" because it means water-fearing.

Which of these terms best describes an area of skin that is innervated by a particular spinal nerve?
EleoNora [17]

Answer: Dermatomes are similar; however, a dermatome only specifies the area served by a spinal nerve. In some cases, the dermatome is less specific (when a spinal nerve is the source for more than one cutaneous nerve), and in other cases it is more specific (when a cutaneous nerve is derived from multiple spinal nerves.)

Alex is participating in a 50 meter dash. Predict the most important chemical process his muscles will rely on during this race.
natta225 [31]

Answer: The correct answer to the question is option E

BOTH ANAEROBIC RESPIRATION AND CREATININE PHOSPHATE BREAKDOWN.

Explanation: 50 meter dash is a race,a form of exercise, energy is required as well as muscle contraction and chemical processes.

Alex muscles will rely on the following chemical processes during the race;anaerobic respiration and creatine phosphate breakdown.

These chemical processes are explained below;

Aerobic respiration uses oxygen to generate energy but unlike aerobic respiration, anaerobic respiration breaks down glucose to provide energy and create adenosine triphosphate(ATP), lactic acid and ethanol.

Muscle contraction cannot take place without the supply of energy by ATP, molecules can store energy in it's phosphate form, this molecule is known as creatine phosphate,when this happens,ATP that is in excess will then transfer it's energy to creatine,this action will produce creatinine phosphate and adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and they will now be stored as reserve of energy that can be used to produce more ATP and thus energy is produced.
