4. What is meant by the fact that water is a "polar" molecule?

Biology
1 answer:
Ksju [112]4 years ago
3 0

Hello!

A polar molecule is where one of the atoms in a molecule has a slight positive charge, and another has a slight negative charge, due to the unequal sharing of electrons.

Water is one of these molecules - the electrons spend more time around the oxygen atom in the center, and less around the hydrogens, so the hydrogen atoms have a slight positive charge, and the oxygen a slight negative.

Therefore, your answer is B, water has a slight negative and a slight positive charge at opposite poles.

Hope this helps!

Which feature would you find on an echinoderm
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

Radial symmetry

Explanation:

One of the most prominent features of echinoderms is their radial symmetry. This means that if we divide the organism around any main axis it should be divided in two exactly similar halves across any plane passing through the body. This is because the mouth is surrounded by a central disk that contain specific structures called podia that radiate outwards and gives the radial symmetry to organism.

For example: The body of ctenophores, echinoderm, sea-anemone and many sponges have radial symmetry. Some echinoderms that have radial symmetry include sea urchin, Sea cucumber, bitter star etc.


Hope it helps!
