Less dense as a solid than as a liquid so that ice floats
Surface tension - the hydrogen bonds form a surface on the water that can support light creatures (2.2) |

|
Definition
A potassium atom easily loses its one valence electron. What is the characteristic of the element that determines how hard it holds onto its electrons.
Electronegativity determines how hard an atom holds onto its valence electrons. Elements with high electronegativity will hold onto their electrons tighter and be more likely to steal electrons from other elements. (2.1) |

What is a Covalent Bond.
bond that is formed when two elements are bonded together because they share an electron.
When two or more elements are bonded together with a covalent bond they are called a molecule. (2.1) |

Definition
What is an ionic bond.
bond that is formed when two elements are bonded together because one element gives up an electron to another element.
That causes one element to be positive (because it is now not balanced because it is missing an electron) and the other is negative (because it now has an extra electron) and then each element is attracted to the other and they stick together. (2.1) |

| Why does the structure of a water molecule cause it to be polar |
|
Definition
Why does the structure of a water molecule cause it to be polar.
The electronegativity of the oxygen atom is stronger than the electronegativity of the hydrogen atom. Therefore, the oxygen end of the molecule contains the shared electron more often than the hydrogen end of the molecule (2.2) |

| Why do hydrogen bonds form between water molecules |
|
Definition
Why do hydrogen bonds form between water molecules.
A hydrogen bond occurs when the slight positive charge on a hydrogen atom in one water molecule is attracted to the slight negative charge on the oxygen atom in another water molecule (2.2) |

| What does it mena when a molecule is said to be "polar" |
|
Definition
What does it mena when a molecule is said to be "polar".
A molecule is polar when there is an uneven distribution of electrons between its atoms. This causes the molecule to have an area with a slight negative charge and an area with a slight positive charge. (2.2) |

| What three factors influence the electronegativity of an element |
|
Definition
What three factors influence the electronegativity of an element.
The distance of the valence electrons from the nucleus, the number of protons in the nucleus, and the number of "s" shells in the atom which shield the valence electrons from the influence of the protons in the nucleus. (2.1) |

How do enzymes work.
Enzymes provide a site where reactants, called substrates, can be brought together to react
The substrates bind to a site on the enzyme called the active site, forming an enzyme-substrate complex.
This reduces the activiation energy needed for the reaction. (2.4) |

Definition
What is a an enzyme.
Enzymes are proteins in the body that act as catalysts. They speed up chemical reactions that take place in cells.
Without the enzyme carbonic anhydrase your body would not be able to convert carbon dioxide from your cells into carbonic acid (which can be transported by red blood cells) fast enough to keep you from dying from an overdose of carbon dioxide. After the red blood cell reaches the lungs, it turns the carbonic acid back into carbon dioxide so it can leave the body through the lungs and in the process it creates more of the enzyme needed to repeat the process.

There are 5 primary divisions of the brain? What is the most anterior section of the brain? |
|
Definition
[image]
#1 : The telencephalon (also known as the cerebrum) is part of the forebrain. It is the most anterior section of the brain and in humans it is also the most superior section.
The cerebrum is composed of the following sub-regions:
- Cerebral cortex, or cortices of the cerebral hemispheres
- Basal ganglia, or basal nuclei
- Limbic System
This section is the newest evolutionary brain development.
Controls:
Voluntary Movement
Sensory Processing
Olfaction (in humans)
Language and Communication

#5 : The most posterior division of the brain before it becomes the spinal cord is the Myelencephalon.
- It part of the hindbrain.
- Commonly known as the Medulla Oblongata.
- This is where the nerves decussate or swap sides so that the right side of the brain controls the left side of the body and vice versa.
- Controls muscle tone, pulse, blood pressure, respiration.
- Autonomic Functions
- Breathing
- Conduction Pathway for Nerve Tracts
- Digestion
- Heart Rate
- Swallowing
- Sneezing
