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
Q

hydrophobic

A

oil fat (like cell mebranes)
non polar

26
Q

aquaporins

A

transmembrane protens

27
Q

plasme (water bases) in blood uses water as

A

water as solvent and can transport gliucoes and minerals

28
Q

blood transports

A

nutrients hormones and waste

29
Q

we use haemoglobins since

A

they can transport more o2 and cause it is non polar so wont dissolve

30
Q

water properties which influence things

A

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
Q

when earth was formed

A

4 or 5 billion yeard agao it was too hot fo4 liqui watwer and we think water came from comets

32
Q

the habitable/ goldylocks zone

A

orbital distance from star which will result in iquid water

33
Q

capilary action if paper is +

A

the - will atteact and vise versa

34
Q

H BONDS

A

give high surface tension, allow droplets and ponk skimmers
and high boiling e melting poings
forms not dense lettice
stabliize double helix struccture

35
Q

if a scientist was thinking if a planet could have life they would consider

A

hot temperatuees for chemical reactions (from a star)
sovlent
liquid water
