Q

more shells

A

decrease pull on electrons since further away from protons and electrons will shiled them from nucleus

16
Q

electronegativity

A

how stronglyn nucleus attracts the electrons it shares with another atom

17
Q

water advantages

A

transparent
less ºc change
protection from uv radiation
food flows past
less impact from gravity

18
Q

in water, electrons pulled

A

closer to o2 cause more protons which attract it, makes it a universal solvent

19
Q

in water sturggles

A

high pressure
dark
cold

20
Q

h bonds makes water molecules

A

sticky cause of cohesion

21
Q

capillary action

A

water cohesion/ adhesion and pulls through narrown tubes. in sand and soil and xylem

22
Q

meniscus

A

cause molecules are attracted to the container

23
Q

in plants, capillary action draws

A

more water out and prwvents cells from dryign out

24
Q

hydrophilic

A

attraction to water, generally polar molecules, can dissolve, (tea, sugar, amylase) sodium mino acids

25
hydrophobic
oil fat (like cell mebranes) non polar
26
aquaporins
transmembrane protens
27
plasme (water bases) in blood uses water as
water as solvent and can transport gliucoes and minerals
28
blood transports
nutrients hormones and waste
29
we use haemoglobins since
they can transport more o2 and cause it is non polar so wont dissolve
30
water properties which influence things
buoyancy viscosity thermal conductivity (higher than air) specific heat capacity (water is more than air sicne we gotta break H bonds, even tho h bonds are weak)
31
when earth was formed
4 or 5 billion yeard agao it was too hot fo4 liqui watwer and we think water came from comets
32
the habitable/ goldylocks zone
orbital distance from star which will result in iquid water
33
capilary action if paper is +
the - will atteact and vise versa
34
H BONDS
give high surface tension, allow droplets and ponk skimmers and high boiling e melting poings forms not dense lettice stabliize double helix struccture
35
if a scientist was thinking if a planet could have life they would consider
hot temperatuees for chemical reactions (from a star) sovlent liquid water
