AP Bio Water Quiz

What are the three main properties of water?

• solid, low specific heat capacity, no surface tension

• gas, low specific heat capacity, no surface tension

• solid, high specific heat capacity, no surface tension

• liquid, high specific heat capacity, surface tension

How does hydrogen bonding contribute to the unique properties of water?

• Hydrogen bonding in water molecules leads to low cohesion, low surface tension, and the ability to absorb heat.

• Hydrogen bonding in water molecules leads to high cohesion, surface tension, and the ability to absorb heat.

• Hydrogen bonding in water molecules leads to low cohesion, low surface tension, and the inability to absorb heat.

• Hydrogen bonding in water molecules leads to low cohesion, surface tension, and the inability to absorb heat.

Define cohesion and adhesion of water.

• Cohesion is the attraction between water molecules, causing them to stick together. Adhesion is the attraction between water molecules and other substances, causing them to stick to surfaces.

• Cohesion is the attraction between water molecules, causing them to repel each other. Adhesion is the attraction between water molecules and other substances, causing them to repel surfaces.

• Cohesion is the repulsion between water molecules, causing them to separate. Adhesion is the attraction between water molecules and other substances, causing them to stick to surfaces.

• Cohesion is the repulsion between water molecules, causing them to separate. Adhesion is the repulsion between water molecules and other substances, causing them to repel surfaces.

Explain how cohesion and adhesion are related to capillary action.

• Cohesion and adhesion are only related to surface tension, not capillary action.

• Cohesion and adhesion repel each other in capillary action.

• Cohesion and adhesion are related to capillary action through the attraction between molecules.

• Cohesion and adhesion have no relation to capillary action.

Why is water considered a universal solvent?

• Water is considered a universal solvent because it is made up of many different elements.

• Water is considered a universal solvent because it is highly acidic.

• Water is considered a universal solvent because it has a low boiling point.

• Water is considered a universal solvent because it has the ability to dissolve a wide variety of substances due to its polar nature.

What is the difference between hydrophilic and hydrophobic substances?

• Hydrophilic substances are attracted to oil and can dissolve in it, while hydrophobic substances repel oil and do not dissolve in it.

• Hydrophilic substances repel water and do not dissolve in it, while hydrophobic substances are attracted to water and can dissolve in it.

• Hydrophilic substances are attracted to water and repel oil, while hydrophobic substances are attracted to oil and repel water.

• Hydrophilic substances are attracted to water and can dissolve in it, while hydrophobic substances repel water and do not dissolve in it.

How does water's high specific heat capacity affect temperature regulation in organisms?

• Water's high specific heat capacity only affects temperature regulation in aquatic organisms.

• Water's high specific heat capacity causes temperature fluctuations in organisms.

• Water's high specific heat capacity has no effect on temperature regulation in organisms.

• Water's high specific heat capacity helps regulate temperature in organisms.

What is the significance of water's high heat of vaporization?

• Water's high heat of vaporization allows it to freeze at a lower temperature.

• Water's high heat of vaporization allows it to absorb a large amount of heat energy before evaporating.

• Water's high heat of vaporization makes it less effective at cooling.

• Water's high heat of vaporization causes it to evaporate quickly.

Describe the role of water in the transport of nutrients and waste in living organisms.

• Water plays no role in the transport of nutrients and waste in living organisms.

• Water is only involved in the transport of nutrients in living organisms.

• Water is only involved in the transport of waste in living organisms.

• Water acts as a medium for the transport of nutrients and waste in living organisms.

Explain how water's density changes with temperature.

• The density of water increases with increasing temperature.

• The density of water decreases with increasing temperature.

• The density of water remains constant with changing temperature.

• The density of water is not affected by temperature.
