Resource summary
Water
Thermal properties:
High specific heat capacity; Hydrogen bonds
High boiling point
100 Degrees
Excellent coolant e.g sweating, panting
Aquatic life can still live under ice; water is densest at 4 degrees- then shrinks
Requires lots of energy to seperate water + hydrogen molecules apart
Cohesive structure
The sticking together of particles of same substance.
Cohesive properties:
Water molecules stick together --> Hydrogen bonds
Water: dragged up via Xylem vessels to top leaves of trees
Surface tension
Living things can live on surface of ponds & streams e.g. pondskater
Solvent properties:
Universal solvent
Can dissolve many substances esp POLAR ones.
POLAR: Substances that have + & - charges in molecular structure.
Only HYDROPHOBIC substances DON'T dissolve in water
Metabolic reactions happen in AQUEOUS solutions
Many substances can be transported around if dissolved in SAP/BLOOD
Transports materials e.g. blood, sap
Supports plant structure
Used in photoshynthesis
6CO2 + 6H2O ------> C6H1206 + 6O2
Carbon Dioxide + Water -------> Glucose + Oxygen
Hydrogen (slightly +) attracted to Oxygen (slightly -) ---> Covalent bonding between them
Water is stable structure; numerous HYDROGEN bonds
Water structure is DIPOLAR
Electrically neutral molecule carrying + & - charge
