Q

Water is a ___ molecule

A

Polar

18
Q

What has negatively charged (oxygen end) and positively charged (hydrogen end) sides?

A

Water

19
Q

What allows Water to form Hydrogen Bonds and demonstrate both cohesive and adhesive properties?

A

The Polarity of Water

20
Q

What is Cohesion?

A

A measure of how well similar molecules stick to each other or group together

21
Q

Water Molecules are cohesive because:

A

They are attracted to other water molecules

22
Q

The cohesiveness of Water allows it to travel through small capillaries without using ___

A

Energy

23
Q

Cohesiveness creates surface tension by:

A

Creating a tight-knit layer of water molecules on the surface of any body of water

24
Q

Breaking up the multitude of Hydrogen Bonds between Water requires a lot of energy, so water is said to have:

A

High specific heat and high heat of vaporization

25
Q

What does Water boil at?

A

100 Degrees C

26
Q

Ice floats on Water because:

A

It has lower density than liquid water

27
Q

Most substances have greater densities in ___ form

A

Solid

28
Q

Adhesiveness is:

A

A measure of how well dissimilar particles or surfaces cling to one another

29
Q

The adhesiveness of Water allows it to:

A

Stick to other molecules because of water’s polarity

30
Q

What is considered the Universal Solvent?

A

Water, meaning many substances dissolve in water

31
Q

___ and ___ are key processes for the transport of molecules through substrate and across membranes

A

Diffusion, Osmosis

32
Q

What is Diffusion?

A

It’s the movement of any substance from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration

33
Q

One example of Diffusion is:

A

Perfume because will at first be concentrated in the area it was sprayed. However, over time, the molecules of perfume will spread out until the concentration of perfume molecules is the same in all areas of the room

34
Q

What is Osmosis?

A

Osmosis is a specific type of diffusion referring to water moving from an area of high concentration to low concentration

35
Q

Water moves ___ across a membrane through pores made of ___ ___

A

Passively, Aquaporin Proteins

36
Q

___ moves from regions where Solvent Concentrations is high to areas where Solvent Concentrations is low

A

Water

37
Q

What is one example of Osmosis?

A

Plants taking in water through their roots. When water is available in soil, Osmosis causes water to flow through the cell walls to the root interior where there is a lower concentration of water

38
Q

To move from regions of low to high Concentrations, ___ must be used

A

Energy

39
Q

What is Active Transport?

A

Movement against the concentration gradient that requires energy

40
Q

___ and ___ do not require energy, other than the ___ energy of moving molecules

A

Diffusion, Osmosis, Kinetic
