you'll see that there are 2 layers (bi- means 2) of the yellow things (the round heads are hydrophilic and the tails are hydrophobic and face each other), hence the name lipid bilayer

How do properties of water affect aquatic ecosystems?
DochEvi [55]

El agua presenta algunas propiedades térmicas que son:

Calor específico: Una masa de agua requiere gran cantidad de calor para elevar su temperatura, pero tarda más para enfriarse; actúa como regulador térmico. (15°C)

Calor latente de fusión: Para convertir 1 gramo de hielo en agua se requieren 80 calorías a 0ºC.

Conductividad térmica: La conductividad térmica del agua es muy baja, por tanto su calentamiento por conducción es muy lento.

El calor latente de evaporación: Gran parte de la radiación solar se utiliza en la evaporación del agua, produciendo efectos beneficiosos sobre los climas y éstos a su vez sobre las comunidades.

Densidad del agua: El agua al solidificarse aumenta de volumen, por tanto el hielo flota sobre las aguas. Esta propiedad evita que los lagos se solidifiquen totalmente, cuando las aguas se congelan en la superficie.
