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

Biology
1 answer:
Ksju [112]3 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!

Differentiate 10sinxcosx​
Harman [31]

Answer:

10\,cos\,2x

Explanation:

To differentiate: 10\,sinx\,\,cos x

Solution:

Use product rule: [f(x)g(x)]'=f'(x)g(x)+f(x)g'(x) and the following formulae:

(sinx)'=cosx\,,\,(cosx)'=-sinx

(10\,sinx\,\,cos x)'=10[(sinx)'cosx+(sinx)(cosx)']\\\\=10[cosx\,cosx-sinx\,sinx]\\\\=10[cos^2x-sin^2x]

Use cos^2x-sin^2x=cos2x

(10\,sinx\,cosx)'=10\,cos2x

Does female sperm and male sperm look different
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

the Y chromosome is smaller than the X chromosome.

Explanation:

The male has an X and Y sex chromosome which is an exception to the general rule that homologous chromosomes are identical as the Y chromosome is smaller thus enabling it to swim faster than the X chromosome. The Y chromosome also has a longer lifespan compared to the X chromosome. The male genotypes is XY. Males are heterogametic as they produce two types of gametes, one carrying the X and the other carrying a Y chromosome.

A father produces sperm that only carry ‘t’ alleles. What is likely to be his genotype?
Sav [38]

Answer:

The Genotype of an organism determines the genetic characteristics of an individual.

If a father produces sperm that carry only 't' alleles, the his genotype will be 'tt' or hom.ozygous genotype.

Hom.ozygous genotype contains the same type of genes responsible for a particular phenotype.

Hence, the correct answer is 'tt' or hom.ozygous genotype.

can someone help with my biology homework? its about photosynthesis on a foundation paper (included photo)
uysha [10]
1.1 Starch is used as a storage of energy as its small and insoluble.
fats and oils are also a storage in plants usually in seeds
amino acids are used to form proteins
cellulose is used in the reinforcement and creation of the cell wall 

1.2 Glucose is used in respiration in plants

2.1 the subcellular structures are called Chloroplasts which contain thylakoids which contain chrophyll pigments used for photosynthesis

2.2 Carbon dioxide = water ===> glucose = oxygen

2.3 Energy is transferred from the environment during photosynthesis. energy is required as light in the light dependent stage of photosynthesis and this is gained from the sun in the environment around the plant

I hope this helps
