Molecules A.1 Flashcards
Water
what is the is the sum of a cell’s chemical reactions that takes place in liquid water.
Metabolism
What molecule is a water bond held together by
polar covalent bonds
What are different water molecules connected by
Hydrogen bonds
What is it called when a substance is attracted to water
Hydrophilic
What are non polar substances called that are water resistance
Hydrophobic
What is it called when water is attracted to its self
Cohesion
What is it called when water is attracted to polar/ charges substances
Adhesion
what is it called when water counteracts the force of gravity
Buoyancy
What is it called when water changes its shape using energy
Viscosity
what helps water moderate the climate
specific heat capacity
What makes it hard for animals to stay warm
Thermal conductivity
what is water believed to been brought to earth by
astroids
where does liquid water originate from ?
on planets in the Goldilocks zone
what is the process of water transport in the water molecule
the water molecules are in cohesion with each other and when one of the molecules evaporate off the surface another molecule replaces it. water is at adhesion with the xylem and keeps it from moving down the water tube.
