Answer:
The oxygen atoms of water molecules attract electrons more than hydrogen atoms.
Explanation:
The uniqueness of water as a chemical substance is attriuted to its unique properties. These properties include being a universal solvent, having a high specific heat (temperature moderator), cohesive and adhesive nature etc.
This wonderful properties of water is due to its POLAR nature, which is when a substance has both positively and negatively charged parts to it. This is possible because the oxygen atoms (O) of water molecules attract electrons more than hydrogen atoms (H).
This POLARITY of water molecule is responsible for the HYDROGEN BONDING between water molecules and hence, contributes to the properties of water mentioned in the question (universal solvent, temperature moderator, and cohesive behavior)
Answer:
The correct answer is - flatworms and roundworms.
Explanation:
Helminths are the group of free living and some are parastic organisms present in aquatic, terrestrial environment or in animals or plants respectively. parasitic helminths are the group of worms or organisms that lives inside the GI tract or other parts of the body of host and makes them weak. The two major groups of parasitic helminths are -
Flatworms (platyhelminths) is a parasitic helminths, have leaf like body which is thin and segmented while roundworms or nematode have cylindrical and unsegmented body.
Thus, the correct answer is - flatworms and roundworms.
Answer: (B) to function as the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain.
Explanation:
Oxidative phosphorylation is a process that takes place in cellular respiration. It consists of two component pathways which includes the electron transport chain (etc) and chemiosmosis.
In etc the electrons are passed from one to another molecule, the energy is released by the electrochemical gradient.
In chemiosmosis, the energy stored in the electrochemical gradient is used to produce energy molecules in the form of ATP (Adenosine triphosphate).
The oxygen is present at the end of the etc. It's function is to accept the electrons also picks up the protons to form water. If oxygen is absent then no molecule will accept the electrons, the electron transport chain will stop. There will be no chemiosmosis as the ATP will not be produced in the absence of formation of a electron gradient.
Answer:
THE MOON'S GRAVITATIONAL FORCE PULLS THE EARTHS WATER AND CREATES WAVES-TIDES???
Explanation:
The answer would be osmosis
Osmosis is the movement of water caused by the difference in osmotic pressure. The salt or any solute that hydrophilic will attract water. But since it cannot move/diffuse pass the membrane, it is the water that will move to the solute. This will cause the volume of the box with more solute/salt increases.
