Discuss the chemical structure and properties of water molecules and explain why water makes a good solvent in living cells. 1. Include a description of the molecular make-up of water molecules and the contributions of intermolecular (between molecules) and intramolecular (within a molecule) bonds in your discussion. You may use diagrams or sketches to illustrate your points.

2. Explain why water is a good solvent in living cells.

H2O is a tetrahedron shaped which has a partial negative charge on oxygen and partial positive charge on the two hydrogen atoms.

Explanation:

water is a good solvent because it is charged. This property helps dissolve and move ions and polar molecules in the body of organisms.

other properties of water are: water molecules are cohesive and adhesive, high specific heat capacity, high heat of vaporisation, surface tension, water can form ions etc

a adaptation is when organism changes itself to fit the environment

ex. when its cold outside i wear a jacket

hello everyone my name is nevaeh, i know everyone needs in some way, shape, or form and i am willing to provide. i set up a google classroom where people can ask me questions and get on work. no question is a stupid question so do not be afraid to ask. i usually only focus on core subjects but if you ask i will with other specialized subjects. i can do essays all the way to power points : )

my google classroom is the code is 7hr2k4

~ use this opportunity to get more so you can thrive in the classroom

photosynthesis makes the glucose that is used in cellular respiration to make atp. the glucose is then turned back into carbon dioxide, which is used in photosynthesis. while water is broken down to form oxygen during photosynthesis, in cellular respiration oxygen is combined with hydrogen to form water.
