Which application of hydrates best relies on the anhydrous compound’s ability to both absorb water and retain water?

1 answer:

6 0

The hydrates are molecules that have absorbed water from the environment.

Some anhydrous compounds are hygroscopic, which means that they absorb humidity (water) from the environment.

When an anhydrous compound absorb water it transform into a hydrate compound.

Then the obvious application of an ahydrous is to control or decrease the humidity in areas where it may cause the formation of mold or other damages to the surfaces (walls), packages (cardboard), or products (wood or food) contained in the area.

As a character of all living things, homeostasis relates most directly to which of the following biological themes

Explanation:

As a characteristic of all living things, homeostasis relates most directly to which of the following biological themes?

A.) Interacting systems.

B.) Stability.

C.) Evolution.

D.) Scale and structure.

Correct: B.) Stability.

During homeostasis the body maintains a constant internal balance (stability) in pH, temperature, blood pressure etc. Cells in a multicellular organism become specialized for particular tasks and communicate with one another in order to maintain homeostasis.

Within the human body these are known as hormone cascades, where several complex steps occur- the tissues signal to one another with the use of hormones released by the endocrine system. The regulation (increase and decrease) of these secretions is achieved by negative feedback loops, where the release of certain substances during a cascade in turn halts the secretion of hormones at earlier stages.
