Q

T/F Ice is more dense than water

A

False

52
Q

How does the cohesion of water relate to the themes of biology?

A

The cohesion of water is due to the relationship between its structure and function. The molecular structure of water influences how it functions by allowing hydrogen bonds to form and creating a high cohesion.

A

basic , OH-

54
Q

How can radiation be beneficial to humans?

When you expose your body to radiation, it can be used to treat cancer that has metastasized.

Radiation does not have any benefits because it will always cause harm to the cells that are exposed.

Radiation can be used to increase the amount of genetic diversity in a population because it causes mutations.

When given in isolated and calibrated beams, it can be used to treat tumors.

A

When given in isolated and calibrated beams, it can be used to treat tumors.

A

covalent ; polar

56
Q

You finish filling up a water bottle and place it in the freezer. You come back the next day and notice that ________________.

A

the bottle has expanded

57
Q

If you’ve ever burned yourself on a metal pot while waiting for water to boil, you know that water heats up much more slowly than metal. In fact, water has a stronger resistance to temperature change than most other substances.

This property of water is caused by __________.

A

hydrogen bonding

58
Q

How is an ionic bond formed?
