Answer:
1. polarity
2. hydrogen bonding
3. High heat capacity
4. Adhesion
5. polarity
6. surface tension
7. high heat vaporization
8. hydrogen bonds form a rigid and stable network
9. Water is a polar substance and fat is a nonpolar substance.
10. Cohesion
Explanation:
Water is a polar molecule that is held together by hydrogen bonds to form strong cohesive forces. This accounts for the surface tension in water. Surface tension is the force acting on water that it makes to behave like a stretched elastic skin.
The polarity of water accounts for the fact that it is found in several parts of the body where it largely plays the role of a polar solvent.
High heat capacity of water enables it to function well in the area of thermoregulation in the body. High heat vaporization accounts for the fact that water helps maintain extreme temperature changes in an area.
When in solid state, the hydrogen bonded network in water becomes rigid and forms a very stable network of water molecules. Being polar, water does not interact with fat because like dissolves like.
In plants, the attachment of water to plant roots is known as adhesion and is necessary for the capillary movement of nutrients to plants via the root.
Answer:
C
Explanation:
According to Newton's second law, when the same force is applied to two objects of different masses, a. the object with greater mass will experience a great acceleration and the object with less mass will experience an even greater acceleration.
White blood cells increase as they are the cells that destroy pathogens
Answer: C. The C horizon is very deep.
Horizons are the layers of soil develops as a result of soil formation. Horizon lies parallel to the earth surface. Each horizon differs from the other on the basis of amount or organic matter present, color of the soil, texture of soil and other components making up horizon, and amount and type of minerals present in the soil.
C horizon is the horizon that lies deeper region of the collective soil horizon. It consist of unweathered or partially weathered rocks or their aggregates. Therefore, it retains the original chemical composition of the parent rock. This results in the higher mineral content as compared to other horizons. This horizon also lacks the organic matter as no or very little decomposition activity of plant and animal matter takes place. Therefore, color of soil in this horizon in the absence of organic matter remains light.
Hence, a sample of soil from a C horizon is light brown in color and has a high content of a mineral called feldspar is because of the fact that the C horizon is very deep.
