Why is water an important molecule? Why are hydrogen bonds important in the body? Why are hydrogen bonds important in biology? Why are hydrogen bonds important to water movement in plants? Why are hydrogen bonds important for life? Why is the water molecule so important to organisms?
Which action is related to the evaporation of sweat? Discuss how gas exchange affects transpiration in plants. What is the importance of cohesion and adhesion forces in transpiration? What is a "sweat trial," and why is it important to the endurance athlete? Why do we sweat? Is it becau...
Cellulose is great at absorbing water, which is why we make towels out of cotton instead of polyester. Water molecules cling to cellulose and climb along it through a process called capillary action — cellulose can even defy gravity in order to pull the water along its surface. Because water...
In saline soils, sodium replacescalciumand magnesium, so aggregation of soil particles is reduced, and the soil will tend to disperse. When soil gets wet, it’s water infiltration capacity reduces as well. When dry, sodic soil becomes hard has the tendency to crack. For Plants Salinity affec...
What is capillary action and how does it relate to the strengths of adhesive and cohesive forces? Explain why some electrolyte solutions are strongly conducting, whereas others are weakly conducting. Why are anions always larger than the atoms from which they are formed? Explain the London dispers...
