Why is freezing water extremely biologically relevant?

Biology

Reika [66]3 years ago

I feel like this question has more to do with water and its changes of states more than just freezing water. Water has a high specific heat, which means that it takes more energy to either boil or freeze than many other types of substances. This is unusual about water because it has a low molecular weight, which is normally associated with a smaller need for energy to change states. Is water didn't require this extra energy, then it water would freeze much more easily. This would be detrimental for many biological ecosystems. Think about how the world would be if water froze at say 60 degrees F, rather than 32. This would significantly effect the world as we know it.

Interneurons are the "middle man", neither a sensory or motor nueron, that creates neurial circuits, connecting a broad class of neurons in the spinal cord and brain. They enable communication from motor and sensory neurons in the central nervous systems and are classified into two groups; relay and local interneurons.

"how did the elodea cells change when aquarium water was replaced with hypertonic solution? what caused those changes?"
iogann1982 [59]
Elodea cells change when aquarium water was supplanted with a hypertonic arrangement is the point at which the cell layer isolated from the cell divider and moved towards the center of the cell. The cytoplasm and chloroplas±s moved towards the center of the cell. The cell shrank and progressed toward becoming plasmolyzed.

Why do think predatory animals like owls are often threatened in habitats that have been exposed to those chemicals?
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

At each higher level of consumption, the amount of toxin is magnified.

Explanation:

Those predators all eat smaller secondary consumers, and those secondary consumers eat the primary consumers, which a lot of the times are exposed to DDT. For example bugs are often the primary target for DDT, once those bugs are exposed to the DDT they carry it in/with them. When a fish eats the bug, that fish is now exposed to the DDT. When the fish is caught and eaten by an eagle that eagle and its young are now being exposed to DDT. The DDT might not effect the full grown eagle for its lifetime but it does effect its young.
