Answer: A. The hydrogen bonds cause water to resist a change in temperature.

Explanation:

Heat of vaporization is defined as the amount of heat required to convert 1 mole of liquid to gaseous state.

Water has high heat of vaporization due to the presence of strong hydrogen bonds between hydrogen and a electronegative element oxygen. As the water molecules are strongly bonded to each other, large amount of heat is required to raise the temperature of water.

The molecules will not be able to gain enough kinetic energy and thus temperature changes slowly.

The structure of a human skin cell differs from that of a human muscle cell. The two cells most likely have different __________

AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

The correct answer would be - functions.

Explanation:

The structure of the skin cells and muscle cells are different and have a different number of cell organelles on their role in the body. Skin cells are a special type of cells that keep on shedding and replaced by new ones therefore they need less energy and have many mitochondria.

In contrast, muscle cells have different structures as they need a high amount of energy to make movements and therefore have lots of mitochondria in the cell.

Which state of a dead body is caused by the lack of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to the muscles?

Ket [755]

Answer:

__Rigor mortis__________ is caused by the lack of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to the muscles

Explanation:

The rigor mortis corresponds to the stiffness of the muscles (they cannot contract or elongate) due to the lack of ATP, where I fixed the bridges between actin and myosin. This event happens when the oxygen transporting organs stop working.
