Water is essential to life on Earth: its unique physi­cal and chemical properties act to protect living systems and are necessar

y to the struc­ture and function of cells. One unusual charac­teristics of water is that despite its low molecular weight, it is a liquid at most environmental temperatures. Other molecules having similar molecular weights, ammonia, methane, and hydrogen sulfide, are gases. Develop a logical explanation for water's existence as primarily a liquid in living systems. All BUT ONE response could apply.
A) Water has the highest specific heat capacity of any liquid due to its polarity.

B) To change state, much heat energy must either be added or removed to change the nature of the hydrogen bonding.

C) The property of high specific heat capacity allows highly regulated internal body temperatures for all organisms.

D) Water has a high heat of fusion as well as a high heat of vaporization as a result of the hydrogen bonding among molecules.

Darker skin is more prevalent in high-UV areas. Dr. Nina Jablonski proposed a hypothesis to explain the selective pressure for d
skad [1K]

The answer is; the melanin in darkly pigmented skin protects DNA from UV radiation, and UV radiation can cause skin cancer

In Africa, due to its equatorial latitude location, receives direct sunlight at more or less 90 degrees most of the year. These highly concentrated rays increase the UV radiation exposure  that can cause damage to cell DNA. Selection pressure, therefore, favored individuals with high melanin concentrations that protect against UV. Therefore population evolved towards high melanin densities in the skin.

1. A student is completing a Punnett square for a trait (X/x) that is autosomal and inherited by the dominant allele. The father
zvonat [6]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

autsomsal means that it is not x-linked/ realted to gametes. Dominate means that it needs only one X to get the trait

Using the punnet square

             X       x

      x     Xx   xx

      x     Xx   xx

there is 2 X which means there is a 50% change that their child will get the trait

Natalija [7]

Answer: This is an example of organizational heirarchy.

Explanation: These biological structures are designed in a way that the whole system consist of different parts serving its own unique purpose, making up a full functional system. It goes from; atoms, molecules,cells, tissues and organs which makes up a system. Digestive system for example is composed of atoms, molecules,cells, tissues and organs that helps to digest amd convert food into energy(ATP).
