Water is often called the "universal solvent" because many substances can be dissolved in water. What property of water allows i
t to be such a versatile solvent? The positive and negative charges on water molecules form strong attractions toward ions and other charged particles.
The neutral pH of pure water means there are no other molecules to interfere with the dissolving process.
The high specific heat capacity of water allows it to absorb large amounts of solutes with very little energy needed.
The low density of liquid water means there is room for solutes to fit in between the water molecules.
It is known that molecular formula of water is . And, due to the difference in electronegativity of both hydrogen and oxygen there will be formation of a positive charge on hydrogen atom and a negative charge on oxygen.
As a result, each molecule of water becomes polar in nature.
Hence, these charges will attract species with opposite charges. This, tendency of water molecules makes most of the species to dissolve into water.
Thus, we can conclude that property in which positive and negative charges on water molecules form strong attractions toward ions and other charged particles allows it to be such a versatile solvent.
The lateral corticospinal tract functions
in the control of distal muscles such as those of the limbs and the trunk. About
90% of the fibers that travel in the corticospinal tract are found in the
lateral corticospinal tract which makes it the main component of the corticospinal
tract.
I believe the primary determinant of basal metabolic rate is the Lean Body Mass. Basal metabolic is the rate of energy expenditure per unit time by animals at rest. It comprises the processes that the body requires to function. It is the amount of energy per unit time that a person need to keep the body operational at a state of rest.
Active transport is a cellular transport mechanism. It’s the movement of molecules that are assisted by enzymes along the way to a higher concentration.
