Question 3

Water Properties

Answer 3

High Heat Capacity
High heat of vaporization
Polar Solvent Properties
Reactivity
Cushioning

Question 4

Explain High Heat Capacity

Answer 4

The ability to absorb and hold high amounts of heat. Ensures homeostasis by preventing sudden changes in temperature.

Question 5

High heat of vaporization

Answer 5

Sweating. High amounts of heat leave body due to how much heat can be stored. Making it easy to expel excess body heat.

Question 6

Polar Solvent Properties

Answer 6

Water is a universal solvent necessary to make solutions that allow the body to function. Ions are able to dissociate. Hydration layers that seal large molecules from other large molecules

Question 7

Reactivity

Answer 7

Hydrolysis - breakdown involving water molecules
Dehydration synthesis - removal of water to join monomers

Question 8

Polysaccharides

Answer 8

Multiple monomers like starch and glycogen
