Importance of Water for Living Organisms Water is made up of two elements‚ 2 positively charged hydrogen molecules and one negatively charged oxygen molecule. Water molecules have uneven charge distribution as one end of the molecule is slightly positive and the other slightly negative‚ this is called polar. Ionic substances such as sodium chloride dissolve easily in water because the positively and negatively charged ions are separated due to the dipole nature of water. As water is dipolar‚

____________ Properties of Water Lab Introduction: Water is a simple molecule‚ yet itʼs most vital to all living things. It has the highest specific heat of everyday substances. Unique properties of water enable it to carry out functions that no other substances can. In a neutral aqueous solution‚ five molecules of water are bonded together by weak hydrogen bonds. Furthermore‚ due to the electronegativity of oxygen‚ water is a polar molecule. Due to its polarity‚ water is classified as the universal

both these things water is needed so exploration of Mars by space probes has concentrated on looking for water. Humans have searched for evidence of water on Mars for many years. In 1895 American astronomer Percival Lowell thought that he had seen canals on the surface of Mars. These were disproved as tricks of the eye. Spacecraft in the 1960’s and 1970’s reported that Mars was very dry. However‚ spacecraft in the 1970’s to the 1990’s started to report evidence of water‚ either past or

Water • Define the terms solute‚ solvent and solution • Solute: Substances dissolved by the solvent (or the component present in a lower amount) • Solvent: Substances in which solutes are dissolved (or the component present in a larger amount) • Solution: A homogenous mixture of 2 or more substances • 1.1.2. Identify the importance of water as a solvent. • Water is distributed in the biosphere‚ lithosphere‚ hydrosphere and atmosphere • On earth‚ it is distributed as a solid‚ liquid and gas

about getting warm and then they just disappeared. I heard some older water molecule calling it evaporation. I did not like the sound of it but I had to find my parents. My friend Zach agreed to help me. Today we were watching sharks attack a school of salmon when it happened‚ I felt weirdness. Everything started to warm up‚ like my parents had said. Zach felt it too. Looks like we were going to evaporate together. Other water molecule started to go up around us and then we were floating. Day 2

Essay on the ’Water’ (200 Words) FRIDAY‚ APRIL 26‚ 2013 ’Water’ is one of the natures precious gifts to mankind. All living things consist mostly of water eg. the human body is of two thirds of water. It is clear‚ colourless liquid that appears blue when viewed through a thickness of 20 ft. The colour reflects not only from physical causes but also from suspended impurities. The freezing point of water is 0degree centigrade and its boiling point is 100 degree centigrade. Water is the most essential

Plants are mostly made up of water. Lettuce is about 94% water and a potato is about 77% water. Plants need water for three main purposes: ------photosynthesis‚ -support -transport of chemicals Water is a raw material for photosynthesis. If water is in short supply‚ the rate of photosynthesis will be limited. Plants need water for support‚ otherwise they wilt. Water is needed to transport many chemicals within plants. Chemicals‚ such as mineral salts‚ dissolve in water and they can then be moved

9/11/2012 | | Introduction: Osmosis and diffusion are two procedures that are critical for cell survival. Diffusion is the movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a cell’s membrane. These two procedures help a cell to survive because they help maintain homestasis. (Diffusion) Homestasis is the steady or balanced state of a cell. (Diffusion) Therefore it is important to find what conditions will
