Explain how living systems depend on properties of water that result from its polarity and hydrogen bonding.

The water has its own property like hydrogen bonding, it is polar molecule. There are many properties of water due to these two factors on which the living components of ecosystem depends.

Explanation:

The cohesion and adhesion of water helps it to move from soil to plants. This is necessary for the growth and development of plants.

The hydrogen bonding of water allows it to flow long distances. This polarity of water allows it to dissolve many solutes in it and makes water an universal solvent.

The water freezes on the top and remains in liquid condition because of the hydrogen bonding. This allows the aquatic organism to live inside water.

explanation:

as the gila monster consumes the eggs or young of the desert cottontail and gambel's quail, thus its main food supply is only accessible for a restricted time duration every year. however, for this, the gila monsters exhibit three adaptations, which elevate their survival rate in the desert condition.  

first, is that they possess huge bodies, and can consume greater concentrations of food during a small period. secondly, they require to feed infrequently as they can accumulate fat in their tails. ultimately, their rate of metabolism is very low, so that they can burn their reservoirs of fat gradually.
