Explain how the properties of water are important to plants/animals. All living things contain water. Water is the main constitute of all organisms. Mammals consist of around 65% water. Water is the solvent, the medium and the participant in most of the chemical reactions occurring in our environment. The properties of water are extremely important to plants and animals for many reasons.

Homemade Flour Tortillas * 2 cups all-purpose flour * 1/4 cup vegetable oil * 1 tsp salt * 2/3 cup warm water 1. In a medium sized bowl, stir together flour and salt. Add oil and warm water, stirring to combine. Dump dough onto a lightly floured surface, and knead for about 3 minutes, until dough is smooth. Divide dough into 10 equal pieces, rolling each piece into a ball. Allow to rest, covered with plastic wrap, for at least 30 minutes. 2. Once dough has rested, preheat cast iron

Assignment: Boiling Water Mrs. Goodyer Due Date: 21 July, 2006 Ben Graham Aim: To observe whether salt levels in water will alter boiling temperatures and times. Hypothesis: I hypothesise that adding salt to the water will raise the boiling temperature of water and lessen the time it takes to boil. This hypothesis is due to the ebullioscopic constant of water and the high heat capacity of water and low heat capacity

Water Resource Plan Groundwater consists of surface water of lakes and streams and the underground aquifers that feed them. Because groundwater is believed to be infinitely renewable in many areas of the world, the threat to it is not recognized. This is extremely dangerous because, in reality, groundwater cannot be naturally replenished and plans must be formed to protect it. Many above ground reservoirs that are used as municipal water sources are feed by what are classified as “fossil aquifers”

P2=34881mmHg Exercise 104 in Ch. 12 Water does not easily remove grease from dirty hands because grease is nonpolar and water is polar; therefore they are immiscible. The addition of soap, however, results in the removal of the grease. Examine the following structure of soap and explain why soap works. Water and grease (or oil) do not mix because water is made up of polar molecules while oil is non-polar. The water molecules are attracted to other water

“Density of cells” means “the number of cells per unit volume of liquid”. For example, they might want to find out the density of red blood cells in blood plasma, the density of bacteria in milk, or the population of Paramecium sp. (a protozoan) in water from a pond. The simplest, most convenient and cheapest means of accurately determining the number of cells in a sample is to use a haemocytometer and a microscope. A haemocytometer is a specialised slide that has a counting chamber with a known volume

saturated, and when the extremely above average rainfall came in the summer of 1993 came, the water had nowhere to go but to the rivers and streams. These rivers and streams quickly filled up and by July were cresting at record highs all around the Midwest. Near St. Louis the Mississippi river crested at 19 feet higher than the flood stage and over 6 feet higher than the previous record. With flood waters of that magnitude, levees were easily broken and overtopped. The great flood caused around 15
