The of water molecules and the hydrogen bonds between solvent water molecules explain most of water's life-supporting properties. The of water molecules to each other helps transport water from solutes the roots to the leaves in plants. When water warms or cools either break or form. Thus, water absorbs or releases a helping to moderate temperatures. Because is less dense than liquid water, it floats and protects lakes and oceans from freezing solid. Water is a versatle Blood and other biological fluids are aqueous solutions with a diversity of dissolved .

The tasmanian devil, a marsupial carnivore, is facing extinction due to devil facial tumor disease (dftd) which causes bulging cancerous lumps and lesions to erupt around the face and neck — often causing enough deformation to make seeing or eating difficult. dftd has evolved into a contagious cancer, a trait that is unique among cancers. devil mating behavior involves biting around the head and neck, allowing cells from one individual — especially cells from the crumbly dftd tumors — to be transferred to the wounds or face of a new individual. this marsupial was once found across australia, but sea levels rose, isolating the tasmanian population, while the australian population went extinct. what would be an outcome of genetic isolation that is likely to have impacted the spread of dftd? a) reduced territory puts diseased individuals in greater contact with non-diseased ones. b) inbreeding results in less variation in facial features so the cancer is generally fatal. c) genetic isolation has made it difficult for scientists to develop a vaccine against dftd. d) the lack of genetic variation in the immune system of tasmanian devils minimizes resistance to the disease.

An example of a trait that would be considered acquired and inherited is a. a cleft chin b. muscle tone c. scar tissue d. freckled skin

Amino acids contain the elements carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and sometimes sulfur. of the 20 amino acids found in humans, 11 are called "nonessential" because they can be manufactured by the body when needed. which elements in these 11 amino acids are commonly obtained from the metabolism of sugar molecules?
