Which THREE statements correctly describe the properties of water?
grandymaker [24]
<em>CORRECT STATEMENTS
> Water forms hydrogen bonds with other polar molecules. </em>
<em>> Water is a polar molecule. </em>
<em>> Water dissolves more ionic compounds.</em> 

<em />Water is a polar molecule because of its uneven distribution of electron density. It is made up of two hydrogen atoms and one positive atom.
Since water is a polar molecule, it forms hydrogen bonds with other polar molecules. Though these bonds are relatively weak, however, there are so many of them present in water. 
Water also dissolves most ionic compounds due to the fact that water is a universal solvent. When these compounds are added to water, there will be an interaction between the individual ions and the polar regions of the water molecules and disrupts the ionic bonds. 

<em>INCORRECT </em>
> Liquid water is less dense than water vapor. - Liquid water has a higher density than water vapor. The fact that water vapor rises indicates that it is less dense than water.

>Water dissolves more hydrophobic substances. - Hydrophobic substances do not dissolve easily in water. It is termed as 'hydrophobic" because it means water-fearing.

When protein consumption is in excess of body needs and energy needs are met, the excess amino acids are broken down and the ene
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

Stored as fat

Explanation:

The body requires a variety of macro nutrients for building blocks to fortify the body and keep it functioning. One of the important building blocks are amino acids that are derived from proteins. These are broken down in the stomach by protein digestion enzymes by amylase, proteases and hydrochloric acid.

In the even that the body has taken in too many units of protein this will be stored in the liver as glycogen. This is a form of "animal carbohydrate" or "animal sugar."

The glycogen stores will remain there for a reservoir for energy whenever the body requires it. In the event of overeating the body will store the glycogen in a more concentrated form, fat via the fatty acid synthesis pathway.

You have a cup of vegetable oil and a vial full of normal phospholipids. What would you predict would happen if you dropped the
Jobisdone [24]

The vegetable oil is made up of chains of long fatty acids. These long chains of fatty acids are non-polar in nature, i.e, they do not interact through ionic forces rather by covalent forces. The phospholipids are also long chain fatty acids with an ionic head. The mixing of the vial of phospholipid in vegatable oil will lead to the formation of a micelle where the lipophilic ends of the phospholipid will be on the outside and the lipophobic end will be towards the centre of the micelle.
