Answer:

In ecology and biology, abiotic components are non-living chemical and physical factors in the environment which affect ecosystems. Biotic describes a living component of an ecosystem; for example organisms, such as plants and animals. Water, light, wind, soil, humidity, minerals, gases.

Explain the thermal properties of water
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

A glance of earth taken from space will depict it blue. This blue colour is actually water, the major part of the earth is covered with water. We need water for almost everything, for example- drinking, bathing, cooking etc and therefore we should know about the properties of water. 65 % human body is composed of water. Water is essential for the survival of life on earth. Water is distributed unevenly on the earth’s surface. It forms a major solvent and dissolves almost every polar solute. So let us have a look at its properties.

Physical properties of water : Water is a colourless and tasteless liquid. The molecules of water have extensive hydrogen bonds resulting in unusual properties in the condensed form. This also leads to high melting and boiling points. As compared to other liquids, water has a higher specific heat, thermal conductivity, surface tension, dipole moment etc. These properties form the reason for its significance in the biosphere. Water is an excellent solvent and therefore it helps in the transportation of ions and molecules required for metabolism. It has a high latent heat of vaporization which helps in the regulation of body temperature

Chemical properties of water: Amphoteric nature:

Water can act as both acid and base, which means that it is amphoteric in nature.

Example:

Acidic Behaviour: H2O(l)+NH3(aq) ⇌ H3O+(aq)+NH+4(aq)

Basic Behavior: H2O(l)+H2S(aq) ⇌ H3O+(aq)+HS−(aq)

Redox reactions:

Electropositive elements reduce water to hydrogen molecule. Thus water is a great source of hydrogen. Let us see an example in this case:

2H2O(l)+2Na(s)→2NaOH(aq)+H2(g)

During the process of photosynthesis, water is oxidized to O2. As water can be oxidized and reduced, it is very useful in redox reactions.

Hydrolysis reaction

Water has a very strong hydrating tendency due to its dielectric constant. It dissolves many ionic compounds. Some covalent and ionic compounds can be hydrolyzed in water.

Explain how similarities in the genetic codes of organisms are due to common ancestry and the process of inheritance.
Gwar [14]
Because since their ancestors came before them then they inherit certain beneficial traits that help them survive. Those traits are in the DNA and the animals are evolving to be more fit for the environment that they are in. (hope this helps)

If we were to compare the cells in the plant leaves to the cells in the plant roots, we would expect the leaf cells to contain m
Gre4nikov [31]

The  correct answer is Chloroplast

The primary function of a leaf is photosynthesis and the chloroplast is the main site for photosynthesis. The rate of photosynthesis is much more in leaves as compared to that of roots. Chloroplast is the place where light and dark reactions takes place. Chloroplast contains a pigment called chlorophyll that absorbs light from the sun for the process of photosynthesis.

The change in CO2 levels in the air in the container for when the person was sleeping vs. when they were awake.
kicyunya [14]
Well CO2 levels are high , and that’s a shift in their reaction. so i suppose when the person is sleeping their CO2 levels are lower so if there is an answer asking if it’s lower then press that if not i don’t know i’m sorry :/. if you ever need anything else DM me lol
