their approximate percentage of total body water. -
correct answer ✅40 percent intracellular
20 percent extracellular
Of that 20 percent extracellular,
15 percent is interstitial
5 percent is intravascular
(A) Using a common set of small molecules as examples explain the
difference between polar
and non-polar molecules. (B) Why is polarity important to living
Systems? -
correct answer ✅Polar molecules contain dipoles that give
molecules positive and negative sides. Polarity is important
Because bodies react with materials differently based on their
polarity. Polar molecules like NaCl dissolve in aqueous environment
lipids (who are nonpolar) do not
the four classes of biopolymers that they comprise. -
correct answer ✅Proteins = amino acids
Lipids = Methyl groups
