What contributes to water's unique properties as a universal solvent, temperature moderator, and cohesive behavior? Hydrogen is

a special element that does not have neutrons. The oxygen atoms of water molecules attract electrons more than hydrogen atoms. The properties are related to the crystalline structure of liquid water. The properties are related to the high electronegativity of hydrogen atoms. i think is B

Answer:

The oxygen atoms of water molecules attract electrons more than hydrogen atoms.

Explanation:

The uniqueness of water as a chemical substance is attriuted to its unique properties. These properties include being a universal solvent, having a high specific heat (temperature moderator), cohesive and adhesive nature etc.

This wonderful properties of water is due to its POLAR nature, which is when a substance has both positively and negatively charged parts to it. This is possible because the oxygen atoms (O) of water molecules attract electrons more than hydrogen atoms (H).

This POLARITY of water molecule is responsible for the HYDROGEN BONDING between water molecules and hence, contributes to the properties of water mentioned in the question (universal solvent, temperature moderator, and cohesive behavior)

A hypertonic solution has:
BaLLatris [955]

A hypertonic solution has:

Fewer water molecules outside the cell than are inside the cell. Thus, option "A" is correct.

<h3>What is hypertonic solution?</h3>
  1. The cell is in a hypertonic solution because it lost water through osmosis and shrunk.
  2. A hypertonic solution contains more solute molecules compared to solvent molecules while the hypotonic solution has more solvent molecules than solute molecules.
  3. When a plant cell is placed in a hypertonic solution it loses water through osmosis and shrinks.
  4. An animal cell placed in a hypotonic solution absorbs water through osmosis, increases in size and then bursts. Plant cell, on the other hand, does not burst when placed in a hypotonic solution as it contains a cellulose cell wall.

Thus, option "A" is correct.

Answer: Option E) polar

Amino acid-derived and peptide hormones are unable to diffuse across a cell membrane because they are polar

Explanation:

Amino acid-derived and peptide hormones such as serotonin, epinephrine, dopamine etc, are unable to diffuse across a cell membrane because they consist of several repeating units of amino acids with positively charged or negatively charged side chains.

Thus, the side chains make these hormones water-loving (hydrophilic), and impassable to the hydrophobic layer of the cell membrane.
