BIO 122 Quiz: Water_and_Carbon_Worksheet_Key
Document Summary
Water and carbon worksheet: define the following terms: Hydrophilic: has an affinity for water, most polar molecules. Hydrophobic: does not have an affinity for water, most non-polar molecules: explain how the properties of water relate to the phenomena described below: During the winter months, air temperatures in the united states can remain below 0 c for months; however fish and other animals living in lakes survive. High specific heat of water; the temperature of a body of water changes very little as it absorbs or loses heat. As the air gets colder, water retains its temperature, allowing fish and other animals to survive. If you touch the edge of a paper towel to a drop of colored water, the water will be absorbed by the towel. Cohesion and adhesion; water molecules are connected via hydrogen bonds (cohesion). Touching the edge of the paper towel to the water, the water molecules then bond to the cotton of the paper towel (adhesion).
