Why does it make more sense for the hydrophilic sugar-phosphates to be on the outside of the DNA molecule and the hydrophobic ni

trogenous bases on the inside? What other cellular structure do you know of that has a similar orientation?

The answer is in the question if you think about the meaning...but here is my input.

Since the lipids/sugar phosphates are hydrophilic, it would want to stay away from water. The opposite is for the hydrophobic nitrogenous bases. This way, the components of the DNA molecule won't be soluble in water, which the cell is mostly made out of. This similar structure can be found in a vesicle or cell-membrane.

Answer:

The hydrogen bonds of water expand during the freezing process, creating more volume and decreasing density of the ice.

Explanation:

Water has awesome properties that distinguishes it among all other substances, many of which is attributed to its hydrogen bonding. Liquid water contains hydrogen bonds that holds tightly its molecules. However, when this liquid water freezes, the hydrogen bonds between its molecules break and expands. This creates space for the water molecules to occupy as it turns to its solid form (ice).

This is the case of this ice-covered lake. The ice, when it sinks, causes the liquid water beneath to freeze because the hydrogen bonds between the water molecules are being expanded enabling the molecules to occupy more space (volume) and make it less dense than liquid water (decreased density).
