Task: Design, then execute, a lab protocol to investigate water
properties
Research question: Is water co-hesive/ ad-hesive?
Hypothesis:
If we test water's co-hesion and ad-hesion on various papers, it will
vary. For example, if we place water on wax paper, it will not be
absorbed and thus helps to prove that it is not very ad-hesive as it
will stay in a ball and will easily roll off. Also, the water will be
easily broken if we were to try separating it using a metal stick, and
this will show weak co-hesive forces. However on the other hand, if we
test toilet paper, the water will be absorbed more easily and thus
helps to prove that it is more ad-hesive to the paper as it will not
be able to roll off. Furthermore, the water will not be able to split,
and this will show strong co-hesive forces. All in all, it can be said
that the stronger the ad-hesion, the stronger the co-hesion, and vice
versa. We are hoping to see the weight of all the various papers
increase, which will indicate that they have absorbed water and thus
imply that the ad-hesion is great.
Variables:
Controlled variables:
· Temperature (23o)

· Amount of time water is on the paper (1 minute)
Manipulated variables:
· Types of paper
o Wax
o Regular
o Paper towel
o Cardboard
o Toilet paper

· Mass of the paper before and after water absorbed
Materials:
· Wax paper
· Regular paper
· Tissue paper
· Cardboard
· Toilet paper
· Stopwatch
· Scale
· Eye-dropper
· Water
· Beakers
Procedure:
(1) Measure and cut the different papers to 6x6 cm
(2) Collect water in beaker, take temperature and record
(3) Put first paper on scale and record weight
o Mass of the chip - I think that the larger the mass of the chip then
How important are fluids? Fluid replacement is probably the most important nutritional. concern for the athletes. Approximately 60% of your body weight is. water.
Water has a great number of roles in living organisms, this is largely to do with the structure and covalent bonding in a single water molecule, and between water molecules. Around 75% of the earth is covered in water, and it is reffered to as the most important Biochemical. Its chemical symbol is: H2O In a water molecule there are two bonding pairs and two non-bonding pairs of electrons. These four pairs of electrons repel one another, forming a tetrahedral pattern.
The Biological Importance of Water Water is a simple molecule, yet it is fundamental to life. In active living cells, two-thirds, or often more, of the area is occupied by water, and two-thirds of the globe is covered in water. Water is therefore extremely abundant, and in biological terms it has great importance both inside cells, and externally, for example as a habitat. Every chemical reaction in the human body, and any other living thing require water. We use water to dilute poisonous waste and excrete as urine (toxins).
Water Relations in Two Plant Tissues Results: Table 5 Table to show the sucrose concentration and water potential of each tissue. The sucrose solution was extrapolated from graph 1, which shows the percentage change of mass of the tissues when immersed in the different sucrose solutions. A line of best fit was drawn, where the line of best fit intercepts the x-axis (concentration of sucrose solution) is the sucrose concentration of the tissue because at this point there is no mass loss of gain (read off of y-axis).
What is aquatic biology? Aquatic biology is very similar to marine biology in that you study ecology, behavior of plants and animals, and microbes; however, instead of the main focus being saltwater, aquatic biologists study things like rivers, wetlands, ponds, and other freshwater resources (princetonreview.com). Being an aquatic biologist comes with many crazy experiences, some in college, others with diving, and some with preserving the environment.
As we know every living thing needs water to survive .Water (H2O) is the most vital molecule in the cells, it 's made up of two hydrogen atoms and also consists an oxygen atom. Water makes up between 70 percent of the human body, this shows how much water is important to the living organisms. This is the only substance we always come across as a solid, liquid, and a gas, as the temperature increases the average kinetic energy of the molecules multiplies. According to “H.H Mitchell, journal of biological chemistry 158", the brain and heart are composed of 73% water”, this gives us an understanding of how vital water is to us (humans) and all living things. Without it we would not be able to survive and our bodies would not be able to work as
The Effect of Osmosis in Plant Cells Introduction = == == == ==
“Drinking water is like washing out your insides. The water will cleanse the system, fill you up, decrease your caloric load and improve the function of all your tissues.” – Kevin R. Stone --
Please choose one of the molecules that we learned about in the readings, and describe it.
Investigating the Concentration of Water in Potato Cells Through Osmosis. Introduction Osmosis is defined as the movement of water molecules from an area of high water concentration to an area of low water concentration, across. a semi-permeable membrane of the saline. I will be experimenting to find the concentration of water in potato cells through osmosis.
As the sustenance for all humankind, animals, plants and other living organisms, Water is the greatest natural resources on this planet and it is becoming scarcer and more of a necessity. Water is a basic need and not a want in the same way that without air to breathe, cannot sustain life. Safe, clean water and good sanitation is a right. Therefore, the right to safe, clean water means the right to life. According to United Nations human rights are rights inherent to all human beings, whatever our nationality, place of residence, sex, ethnic origin, color, religion, language or any other status. Based on UN definition I am confident to assert that safe, clean drinking water and good sanitation is a basic human
I thought my brain was in serious illness as cancer because of the excruciating headache. This constant pain had been a couple of month’s since delivering my baby. The result of a MRI shocked me that I was having an earthquake in my brain. A doctor prescribed “lots of fluids” with the diagnosis of dehydration. I told the doctor, “Are you kidding? I spent 500 dollars to see what is wrong with me. Just need to drink water for my headaches?” Of course, I was glad to be diagnosed with no disease or illnesses, but the extravagance—without the insurance—made me regret my decision to go there. However, the knowledge about the importance of hydration affected my life to drink four bottles of water a day. Most of us know we cannot survive without water,
The Biological Importance of Water as a Solvent and as a Medium for Living Organisms
Water is an essential nutrient that our body requires every day. Without water human life cannot be sustained. Water deprivation kills faster than lack of any other nutrient. People do not think of water as a nutrient and don’t realize the important role of water in the body functions.
