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.

What is fertilization , and where does fertilization occur
Softa [21]
In humans fertilization occurs in the end of the fallopian tube away from the uterus (close to the ovary). The egg and the associated cumulus cells are ovulated (released) from an ovarian follicle and picked up by the fallopian tube. The tube pulls it inside where the sperm can find it.

The hypothesis for Tonya's experiment is "If distance of a race increases, the amount of time needed to run the race will increa
WINSTONCH [101]

The dependent variable is what changes because of the independent variable, while the independent variable is what is purposefully changed by the experimenter, since it is the variable that is being tested.

So, in this problem, you are purposefully changing the distance of the race to see whether or not the amount of time taken to complete the race will change because of the varying distances.

This means that purposefully changing the distance of the race is the independent variable that is being tested and that the amount of time that the runner takes to complete the race is the dependent variable because it changes due to the independent variable.

Sorry for being so wordy.

In short,

Independent variable- the one that's being tested and that is purposefully changed.

Dependent variable- the one that changes because of the independent variable.

Hope this helps.
