Answer:

Higher heat of evaporation required to break hydrogen bonds

Explanation:

Water molecules are joined together by intermolecular hydrogen bonding. Evaporation of liquid water into water vapor requires extra energy to break these hydrogen bonds to separate the water molecules from each other.

Since a higher heat of evaporation is required, the water molecules absorb the heat from the skin surface or leaf surfaces during perspiration and transpiration respectively. This leaves the cooler skin and leaf surfaces behind. Therefore, the presence of intermolecular hydrogen bonds and the need for extra energy to evaporation water allow it to exhibit a cooling effect.

Explain in your own words why pH and temperature can affect enzyme function
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

pH - Each enzyme has an optimal pH at which it works best, if the pH is too acidic or basic, the enzyme will start to denature.

Temperature - Each enzyme has an optimal temperature at which it works best as well. If it is too hot, the enzyme will start to denature and if it is too cold, there will be fewer collisions between enzymes and substrates.

Answer:

Nitrogen fixation

Explanation:

Biological nitrogen fixation is carried out by two types of microorganisms namely, symbiotic and free living microorganisms. Symbiotic microorganisms are bacteria f the genus <em>Rhizobium</em>. These are found in root nodules of leguminous plants. They convert atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia which is used directly by leguminous plants to form nitrogen containing organic compounds.

Does the symbol NA+ represent a sodium atom that has lost an electron
Shtirlitz [24]
Yes, when you see that plus sign on the top right corner of an element, it means it lost one electron, making the element a slightly more positive charge, (called a cation).
