WATER EMERGENT PROPS why ice less dense than water?

(ability to MODERATE TEMP) Water has high specific heat, high heat of vaporization, and an evaporative cooling property that together causes it to tend to maintain a constant temperature. just change more slowly than the temperatures of other substances. Each of these properties is due to the hydrogen bonding property of water. The breaking and forming of the bonds, which would be required to change the temperature of the water (temperature affects the speed of molecule movement), takes an extra amount of energy (or heat) to complete. can release or absorb large amount of heat without changing own temp much .. evaporative coolinghelps stabilize temps in organisms and bodies of water Versatility as solvent Because water is polar and so readily hydrogen bonds, other polar molecules will readily dissolve in it. Remember that for polar molecules, there is a negative charge on one end of the molecule, which is attracted to the positive charge on the other end of other molecules, like a magnet. This attraction forms hydrogen bonds. Polar molecules are also known as hydrophilic (water-loving) or water-soluble molecules. However, water does not dissolve nonpolar or hydrophobic (water fearing) molecules well. Hydrophobic molecules include oils and fats. Cohesive and adhesive behavior- h bonds hold water tg and cohesion due to H bonding contributes to transport of water and dissolved nutrients against gravity in plants (adhesion of water to cell wall by h bonds helps counter downward pull of gravity) Expands as freeze The high number of hydrogen bonds that exist within liquid water cause the water molecules to be farther apart (more structured h bonds than the transient liquid bonds) than the molecules may be in other liquids (the bonds take up space themselves). In liquid water, the bonds are constantly being formed, broken, and reformed, so that the water can flow without a specific form. However, when water freezes, the water attempts to maximize h bonds and creates structured shape w molecules more far apart )Therefore, the water molecules form a lattice that is more expansive than water in liquid form. Because the frozen water contains the same number of molecules but is more expansive, it is less dense than liquid water. The less dense ice (solid water) will therefore float over the more dense liquid water. A film of ice over a body of water acts as an insulator. As a result, the liquid water underneath the ice will be protected from the outside air and will be less likely to freeze as well. This is yet another reason that water is able to maintain a consistent temperature. High specific heat means that water absorbs and retains heat better than many substances. That is, it takes more energy (heat) to change the temperature of water. High heat of vaporization means that it takes more energy (heat) to turn water into a gas (vapor) than many other substances. m When water freezes, water molecules form a crystalline structure maintained by hydrogen bonding. Solid water, or ice, is less dense than liquid water. Ice is less dense than water because the orientation of hydrogen bonds causes molecules to push farther apart, which lowers the density. When water cools, it attempts to maximize its Hydrogen bonds and creates a more ordered and structured shape, stable H bonds ...in liquid water H bonds continually forming and breaking

inductive reasoning hypothesis While induction entails reasoning from a set of specific observation to reach general conclusion, deductive How does hypothesis gain credibility? Hypotheses must be Controlled experiment theory vs hypothesis In scientific inquiry, scientists The hypothesis is usually without control group Researchers control unwanted variables by scientific theory still scientists must sometimes

A type of logic in which generalizations are based on a large number of specific observations. (ex all orgs are made of cells based on two centuries of data (careful observation and data analyses along with generalization reached by induction are fundamental to understanding nature) tentative answer to well framed question- explanation on trial (can be tested then accepted or rejected) involves logic tht flows in opp direction-from general to specific (if then logic) surviving multiple attempts to falsify it while alternative hypothesis are eliminated (falsifying) by testing falsifiable-must ne experiment or observation that could reveal if such idea not true (not all hypotheses meet criteria for science.. supernatural) (btw key features of scientific inquiry are o derivations and forming and testing hypotheses) one designed to compare control group w experimental group (ideally differ in only one factor that the experiment is testing) theory much broader in scope- and it is general enough to spin off new hypotheses and theory supported by a greater body of evidence (vast cumulation of evidence) (must modify or reject theories if new models provide evidence that doesn't fit) (like diff in DNA so eubacteria and archaea tow diff kingdoms now) make observations (collect data) and use inductive reasoning to draw general conclusion which can be developed into hypothesis. Deductive reasoning makes predictions that can be used to test hypothesis... also scientists must be able to repeat each other's work a rational accounting for a set of observations based on available data and guided by inductive reasoning (trial and error is also a hypothesis based approach) scientists wouldn't be able to rule out other factors as causes of the attacks not by eliminating them byregulating environment but by canceling out their effects using control groups much broader in scope than hypothesis, general enough to spin off new hypotheses, supported by a much greater body of evidence (theories that become widely adopted in science such as natural selection explain great diversity of observations and are supported by vast accumulation of evidence) modify or reject theories if new technology emerge and produce results that don't fit

Darwin inferred that as a result, over many generations, Diversity from common ancestor results from One species can Longer you go back Scientists use a process of inquiry that includes recorded observations r called Darwin three observations

individuals with inherited traits tht are better suited to the local environment more likely to survive and reproduce than less well suited individuals. higher and higher proportion of individuals in a population will have advantageous traits (natural selection)- natural environment selects for the propagation of certain traits among naturally occuring variant traits in the population modification by natural selection operating over millions of urs in diff enviro contexts branch into many as geographically isolated populations adapt over many gens to diff enviro conditions the common ancestor is way more different bc of evolution over time- go back fat enough and reach early prokaryotes .. but all have universal genetic code we can recognize make observations form hypotheses and test- data 1-individuals in a pop vary in traits, many of which seem to be heritable..second.. population can produce far more offspring than can survive to produce offspring of their own. competition is thus inevitable. third- species generally are suited to their environments- adapted.

Two main points of darwin's books interactions between organisms effect how populations We can explain traits shared by Evolution accounts for the

input of energy (PRIMARILY FROM SUN) and and transfo of energy from one life form to another (ex chlorophyll molecules within plants leaves convert sunlight energy to chemical energy of food ..chemical energy in sugar then passed along from plants and other photosynthetic orgs (producers) toconsumers- such as animals that feed on other consumers and producers moving growing reproducing and cellular activities of life incorporated into plants body then passed to animal that eats plant be returned to enviro by décomposées such as bacteria and fungi (now can be taken up by plants again) plants and other photosynthetic orgs mutually beneficial (mutualism) and others in which one species is harmed while other is neither harmed nor helped (commencalism) (also like if two plants compete for scarce resource) those in which one benefits and one loses (parasitism), and those in which both are harmed (as well as adaptation of organisms to their enviros) is evolution- idea that orgs today are modified descendants of common ancestors Bacteria and Archaea. are prokaryotic and eukarya are eukaryotic -contains three kingdoms of multicellular eukaryotes- plantae, fungi, animalia (distinguished by modes of nutrition- plants produce own sugars by photosynth , fungi absorb nutrients from surrounding, animals obtain food by digest other orgs)...A and B have no cell membrane lines organelles or nucleus. All three have dna and cell membrane. Eukarya has cell membrane organelles and enclosed nucleus unicellular eukaryotes and some simple multicellular relatives (so some eukaryotes and can be uni or multi cellular while bacteria and archaea can only have uni) 1.)species have arisen from a succession of ancestors that differed from them (descent with modification-species come from common ancestor and envolée differently) (unity in kinship among species tht descended from comman ancestor, diversity in modifcations tht evolved as species branched) 2.)natural selection is a mechanism for descent with modification evolve over time we can explain traits shared by two orgs with the idea that theyve descended for a common ancestor, and we can account for differences with the idea that heritable changes have occurred along the way UNITY AND DIVERSITY OF LIFE

Weak chemical bonds, such as___ and ___ Many large biological molecules are A hydrogen bond forms when a In living cells, the electronegative partners are usually Polar water creates ___ -also can occur wherever an Hydrogen bonds areb

ionic bonds and hydrogen bonds, are also important held in their functional form by weak bonds hydrogen atom covalently bonded to one electronegative atom is also attracted to another electronegative atom oxygen or nitrogen atoms molecular attractions- attraction between positive H in one H2O molecule to negative O in another H2O H bonds an -OH exists in a larger molecule weak bonds but common in biology

Compounds formed by ionic bonds are called Salts are often found in nature as Unlike a covalent compound, which consists of Environment effects the In a dry salt crystal, bonds are so strong that If same salt is dissolved in water In organisms, most of the strongest chemical bonds are Weak bonding is important in Even a molecules with non polar covalent bonds This results in These r called These can be strong when If electrons are distributed asymmetrically in molecules or atoms, they can result in Van der Waals interactions are attractions between Van der Waals interactions are individually ___ and occur only Collectively, such interactions can be

ionic compounds or salts crystals- each is an aggregate of vast numbers of cations and anions bounded by their electrical attraction and arranged in a 3D lattice molecules having definite size and number of atoms, an ionic compound doesn't consist of molecules- (formula units.. the compound name NaCl indicates ratio of Na* to Cl-) strength of ionic bonds takes hammer and chisel to break enough of them to crack crystal into two ionic bonds much weaker bc each ion partially shielded by its interactions w water molecules covalent bonds which link atoms to form a cells molecules biological molecules-many held in their functional form by weak bonds-the reversibility of weak bonding can be an advantage-two molecules can come tg, respond to one another in some way, and separate may have + and - charged regions- electrons not always symmetrically distributed- at any point they may accumulate in one part of the molecule ever changing regions of + and - charge (instantaneous dipôle/) that enables all atoms and molecules to stick van der wall forces many such interactions occur simultaneously hot spots" of positive or negative charge molecules that are close together as a result of these charges weak and occur only when atoms and molecules are very close together strong, as between molecules of a gecko's toe hairs and a wall surface

THERMAL ENERGY The total thermal energy of a body of matter depends in part on the although thermal energy is related to temperature, they when increase temp, you increase When two objects of diff temps are brought together, thermal energy passes from Molecules in the cooler object ___ at the expense of Heat A calories is Conversely, a calorie is also the amount of On ejoule is Water's high s Specific heat At night and during winter, water effects on ocean

ke associated w random movement of atoms or molecules matters volume arent same thing- temperature represents the avg KE of the molecules regardless of volume increase speed of molecules and thermometer records this as rise in temp of liquid. warmer to cooler object until the two are same temp. speed up at expense of thermal energy of warmer object (ex ice cube cools drink by abssorbing thermal energy from liquid as ice melts) thermal energy in transfer from one body of matter to another heat amount that is required to raise temp of 1 g of water by one degree celsius. heat that one g of water releases when cools by one degree celsius ( a kilocalorie, 1000 cal, is quantiy fo heat required to raise temps of one kg of water by one degree celsius .239 cal.. one cal equals 4.184 Joules. specific heat... ability of water to stablizie temp stems from its high spec heat. amount of heat tht must be absorbed or lost for 1g of tht substance to change temp by one degree celsius. as water cools, release heat as making bonds and so warms air

W hich of these provides evidence of the common ancestry of all life? Which of the following is (are) true of natural selection? Charles Darwin proposed a mechanism for descent with modification that stated that organisms of a particular species are adapted to their environment when they possess Which of these individuals is likely to be most successful in an evolutionary sense? Through time, the lineage that led to modern whales shows a change from four-limbed land animals to aquatic animals with two limbs that function as flippers. This change is best explained by Why is Darwin considered original in his thinking? Darwin's finches, collected from the Galápagos Islands, illustrate which of the following? What is the major distinguishing characteristic of fungi?

near universality of the genetic code It requires genetic variation, results in descent with modification, and involves differential reproductive success. heritable traits that enhance their survival and reproductive success in the local enviromentn an organism that dies after five days of life but leaves 10 offspring, all of whom survive to reproduce natural selection. He proposed the mechanism that explains how evolution takes place. adaptive radiation absorbinf nutrients

What is emergent properties and what are water's?

new properties gained from interactions among individual parts. 1.) Cohesive behavior- Due to the polarity of water and the partial positive charges on H and negative on O, water can form H bonds with other water molecules- water sticks to itself bc is attracted to opposite charge on other water molecule...water linked by many h bonds.cohesion contributes to transport of water and dissolved nutrients against gravity and plants. Adhesion, clinging of one substance to another, also plays roll- adhesion of water to cell wall by H bonds help counter downward pull of gravity 2.) Moderation of temp by water Moderated air temp by absorbing heat from air that is warmer and releasing stored heat to air that is cooler. can absorb or release large amount of heat without changing own temp v much ...Water's high specific heat.. ability of water to stabilize temp comes from high specific heat. water will change its temp less than other liquids when absorbs or loses a given amount of heat ..trace waters high specific heat to H bondinf...heat must be absorbed to break H bonds and heat released when H bonds form ...relevance? a large body of water can absorb and store huge amount of heat from day time and summer while only warming a few degrees. At night and during winter, gradually cooling water can warm the air (bc form more H bonds and release heat) Due to waters high specific heat, it keeps temp fluctuations on land and water within limits tht permits life. Evap cooling-due to H bonds, require large amount of energy to evaporate water. this helps moderate earths climate. as liquid evaps, surface of liquid that remains behind cools down as highest energy particles leave. contributes to stability of lakes and ponds and prevents overheating 3.) Floating of ice on water (expanding as freeze) As temp of water falls, water begins to freeze and more and more molecules moving too slow to break H bonds. at 0, molecules become trapped in crystal lattice, maximizing H bonds with 4 other water molecules. The water molecules are now farther apart and in more ordered arrangement that allows for lower density. If ice sank, all ponds lakes and oceans freeze solid. when deep body of water cools, ice on top insulated liquid water allowing life to exist under frozen surface. 4.) Versatality as solvent Bc water is polar, very versatile solvent. When a polar or ionic substance with +/- regions is placed in water, wate rkolecule are attracted to these substance and surround them and dissolve them by. forming hydration shells. Many polar compounds are dissolved in the water of such biological fluids as blood, the sap of plants, and liquid within all cells- solvent of life

Which of the following statements is true about buffer solutions? : Buffers are substances that help resist shifts in pH by ANSWER: One of the buffers that contributes to pH stability in human blood is carbonic acid (H2CO3). Carbonic acid is a weak acid that dissociates into a bicarbonate ion (HCO3-) and a hydrogen ion (H+). Thus, H2CO3 ↔ HCO3- + H+ If the pH of the blood drops, one would expect ANSWER: Assume that acid rain has lowered the pH of a particular lake to pH 4.0. What is the hydroxyl ion concentration of this lake Research indicates that acid precipitation can damage certain marine organisms by Consider two solutions: solution X has a pH of 4; solution Y has a pH of 7. From this information, we can reasonably conclude that If a solution has a pH of 7, this means that Carbon dioxide (CO2) is readily soluble in water, according to the equation CO2 + H2O ↔ H2CO3.

will dissolve creating uniform mix of water and sugar - concentration of dissolved sugar will be same everywhere in mixture A liquid that is a completely homogenous mixture of two or more substances dissolving agent of a solution (water solvent sugar solute) substance that is dissolved one in which water is the solvent versalite- can trace to polarity of water molecule -allows it to form H bonds easily positively charged Na+ ions attracted to negative charged O2- anions and Cl- anions attracted to partially positive H+ ions.. water surrounds individual sodium and chloride ions , separating and shielding them from eachother .. result is homogenously mixed solution of two solutes-sodium and chloride ions with water sphere of water molecules around each dissolved ion ionic to dissolve in water-many nonionic polar molecules such as sugars are water soluble water molecules surround each of the solute molecules, forming H bonds w them (even molecules as large as proteins can dissolve if have ionic and polar regions on surface) any substance that has an affinity for water (not all dissolve tho like if too large also ex cotton bc consists of giant molecules of cellulose, a compound w numerous regions of partial positive and negative charges tht can form H bonds w water- water adheres to cellulose fibers but doesn't dissolve)
