If water was a non polar molecule how would the properties of water be different

Biology

Polar : A polar molecule has a net dipole as a result of the opposing charges from polar bonds arranged asymmetrical !! They are totally neutral !!

Non polar : The molecule which has symmetrical bonding as there is no shift in electron pair !!

So if water was non polar , Boiling point decreases , Surface tension decresases , Density goes down !! and many more !!

What are polar and non-polar molecules?

→ A polar molecule is a molecule which contains both negative and positive charges in one moleucle, although they're not that strong. You might say they're haf positive and half negative (but not neutral).

→ A non-polar molecule is a molecule which is either sharing an equivalent amount of electrons between the atoms inside it, or because it has a symmetrical, linear geometry. In these molecules, there is also no dipole.


How does that affect the water's properties?

So, just a tiny atomic-sized change can influence on how the water interacts with their environment. No matter how small the change is, if it changes a basis of the waters properties, it'll affect the properties itself, of course.


Moving on to the changes. What are some noticable changes?

We can see in the 2 explanations above, that, there is a difference between bonding and atom aranging in non-polar and polar molecules. This can affect things such as surface tension, and the hydrogen bonds.

We also see there is a difference in the charge of atoms, and therefore the charge of the molecule, which can affect conductivity and the interaction of water with other molecules specially ions.

→ There will also be more physical changes, rather than only chemical ones, but the 2 above are the most noticable and probably important ones.




Hope it helped,

The correct answers are:

Trematodes are acoelomates that have effective defenses against attack by their hosts' immune system.

Trematodes are flatworms, internal parasites known as flukes. Their life cycle is complex: they sexually reproduce in vertebrates and asexual reproduce in mollusks (mostly snail). The body of flukes is covered with tough tegument that defends them form digestive enzymes of host’s intestine.

Cnidarians are diploblasts that produce complex, capsule-like organelles.

Cnidaria are water organisms with simple structure: two layers of epithelium and a jelly substance between them. The cells of Cnidaria-cnidocytes contain capsule with venom substance in it with protective role.

Which statement concerning osmosis and active transport is correct?
marshall27 [118]

The question is incomplete, however, the statements associated with this question is given in the comments and here as well:

Neither facilitated diffusion nor osmosis requires cell energy.

Diffusion of gases and other small molecules requires no energy on the part of the cell.

Active transport requires cell energy and osmosis doesn't.

Both endocytosis and active transport require cell energy.

Answer:

The correct answer is - Active transport requires cell energy and osmosis doesn't.

Explanation:

Osmosis is an example of passive transport as it does not require energy to facilitate the movement of solvent In the process of osmosis,. It moves from high concentration to low concentration through the semipermeable membrane which is along the gradient so no requirement of energy.

In the case of Active transport, it requires energy to facilitate the movement of transport as it is the movement of a substance from low concentration to a high concentration area that is against the concentration gradient.
