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.

Difference between cytoplasm ans cell sap?
Ludmilka [50]
Cell saps are the liquid inside of a plant cell's large central vacuole, which acts as support in order for it to function. They're made up of amino acids, glucose, salts and water and plays an important role in osmosis.
Cytoplasms, on the other hand, are a jelly-like substance between the cell membrane and nuclear envelope within a eukaryotic cell. They're mostly made up of water and salt, and aid in growth and metabolism in a cell.

What pathologic change occurs to the kidneys glomeruli as a result of hypertension?
shusha [124]
<span>Interstitial fibrosis and glomeruli tubular atrophy are pathological effects of hypertension on kidneys. This is especially as a result of hyalinization that results in sclerosis to the glomeruli which may ultimately lead to kidney failure if unmanaged. The hyaline accumulate in the nephron tubules resulting in protein in urine. The plaque build up in the kidneys, as a result, causes glomerular ischemia   </span>

The marine multicellular protists including the larger brown algae belong to the
Finger [1]

Options for the question have not been given. They are as follows:

A. dinoflagellates.

B. Choanoflagellida.

C. Stramenopiles.

D. euglenoids.

E. foraminifera.

Answer:

C. Stramenopiles

Explanation:

Stramenopiles or heterokonts are a part of Chromista kingdom. They comprise of both unicellular and multicellular protists. They are characterized by presence of two dissimilar flagella in the motile life cycle stage. Their chloroplast is also surrounded by four membranes which indicates origin from symbiotic relationship. They include many classes like diatoms, golden algae and brown algae. Brown algae belongs to the class Phaeophyceae. They are marine multicellular algae and are commonly known as seaweeds.

Addition of a nucleotide onto a dna strand is an endergonic reaction. what provides the energy to drive the reaction?
Kruka [31]

The release of pyrophosphate from the incoming nucleotide, and then hydrolysis of the pyrophosphate to inorganic phosphate provides energy for the addition of nucleotide onto a DNA strand.

Nucleotides are linked together by a condensation event that yields a tiny, stable molecule. But the released molecule is pyrophosphate, not water. A good amount of free energy is released when water is added to pyrophosphate.

The high-energy link between the ejected beta and gamma phosphates stores the energy for each incoming nucleotide's addition. The subsequent hydrolysis that occurs drives the process. A substantially greater quantity of energy is released when two phosphates are separated into individual phosphates.
