Because water is a polar molecule, it makes an excellent solvent for polar and ionic <span>compounds found within cells and tissues. The polarity of water (H2O) allows it to dissolve a wide array of biological materials in the body. First, it can dissolve other polar substances such as sugars and glycerol. Second, it is also a good solvent for ionic compounds that dissociate into ions, which water molecules are attracted to as well.</span>

The word missing is ionic. Ionic compounds are soluble to water. They are soluble because water is a polar molecule. Water has a positive end and a negative end. These ends attract ionic compounds. However, not all ionic compounds are able to dissolve in water.

Comment on why do you think cells prefer to use carbohydrates as a source of energy before they use fats and proteins.
kompoz [17]

Answer:

This can be explained  based on structure, and on metabolisms of  carbohydrate.

Explanation:

Carbohydrate has a relatively simple structural composition than the  either protein or fatty acids. The C, H and Oxygen molecules are of  relatively fewer in number and few  chains than fats and protein.Thus  cells will spend less energy to break bonds(catabolisims) among these molecules during cellular respiration  pathways  to trap the energy.

In addition glucose the end products of carbohydrate did not need any processing before it enters glycolysis, Kreb's Cycle and oxidative phosphorylation pathways to generate energy for the cells.

Conversely, for protein to be used it has to be first deaminated(removal of amino acid) by the liver  before it enters glycolysis,while fats needs to  be broken down and undergo beta oxidation   with the long chains removed  before it can  form acetyl CoA. Therefore cells will prefer few steps, less endergonic  pathways of glucose than longer more endergonic amino acids  and fatty acid pathways.

Furthermore, glucose can be used in cellular respiration to  produce energy either aerobically or anaerobically, while fats can only be used anaerobically. Therefore, since cells usually prefer to thrive in aerobic conditions they  breakdown glucose easily during this period, and when lack of oxygen occurs they switched to anaerobic, Thus, the versatility of glucose to oxygen concentration makes glucose a better choice. Besides if fats was used anaerobically, ketone bodies build up which may be toxic to the cells.

When measuring a patient's tympanic temperature, the nurse would angle the thermometer probe in what direction?
never [62]
In practice it is enough to simply angle the thermometer towards the direction of the ear canal. More specifically you are trying to target the direction of the tympanic membrane located in the middle ear (one of the parts of the ear; the other parts being outer and inner)

Some maneuvers, although not completely necessary, may include pulling the ear lobe upwards and outwards for babies. This is to straighten the ear canal and is more often done when using otoscopes. For adults, we pull the ear downward and outward.

The ________ duct empties into the vestibule at the level of the second upper molar.
gavmur [86]

The parotid duct empties into the vestibule at the level of the second upper molar.

Around the back of your lower jaw is where the parotid gland is located. Saliva then passes via a tube known as the parotid duct. The duct's opening is where the saliva spills into your mouth. Different factors might cause the parotid duct to become clogged. The region may swell up as a result of this.

Each gland's front faces a lengthy excretory channel called the parotid duct, which emerges just beneath the masseter muscle. The duct enters the mouth by the buccinator muscle and opens on the inner cheek surface, typically next to the maxillary second tooth

BRAINLIEST!! ASAP<br>Normal rain has a pH of about (?).<br>8.4<br>4.0<br>5.6<br>7.0
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Normal, clean rain has a pH value of between 5.0 and 5.5, which is slightly acidic. However, when rain combines with sulfur dioxide or nitrogen oxides—produced from power plants and automobiles—the rain becomes much more acidic. Typical acid rain has a pH value of 4.0.
