AP Biology 2024 Full Review name special properties of water - Answer>>- high polarity (negative oxygens, 2 positive hydrogens, electrons not equally shared; hydrogen bonds with oxygen in other H2O's) - universal solvent (dissolves polar and ionic substances) - strong adhesion and cohesion - hydrogen bonding - High specific heat; keeps temps stable (land next to ocean) - high heat of vaporization (heat evaporation cools body)

Water characteristics - correct answer polar, cohesion (hold together), adhesion (hold to another substance), surface tension, specific heat, heat of vaporization Surface Tension - correct answer A measure of how difficult it is to stretch or break the surface of a liquid Specific Heat - correct answer amount of heat absorbed or lost to change temperature by 1C Heat of Vaporization - correct answer the quantity of heat required to convert 1 from liquid to gas Water polarity - correct...

Emergent properties - correct answer new properties that emerge with each step upward in the hierarchy of life, owing to the arrangement and interactions of parts as complexity increases Negative feedback - correct answer a mechanism of response in which a stimulus initiates reactions that reduce the stimulus Positive feedback - correct answer a physiological control mechanism in which a change in a variable triggers mechanisms that amplify the change Inductive reasoning - correct answe...

Organic compounds - correct answer contain carbon; examples include lipids, proteins, and carbs Functional groups - correct answer amino (nh2), carbonyl (rcor), carboxyl (cooh), hydroxyl (oh), phosphate (po4), sulfhydryl (sh) Fat - correct answer glycerol and three fatty acids Saturated fats - correct answer bad for you; animals and some plants have it; solidifies at room temp. Unsaturated fats - correct answer better for you, plants have it; liquifies at room temp. Steriods - cor...
