hi all
I have an assignment for chemistry due in 2 days time, and was wondering if you guys could lend me a bit of a hand... I have done all but ~3 questions from 12, and just need a nudge in the right direction Ok here goes...
2. Water is contained within living cells. What is its role in metabolism, as a solvent and in the processes of diffusion and osmosis? (Include definitions of both)
3. Water resists temperature extremes much more than terrestrial habitats. Why? Look at today?s newspaper or the web (www.epa.gov.au/beach/beachupd.asp) and see if you can see the difference in the water and land temperatures for a number of different areas.
What is the effect of icebergs on the environment? What is the effect on living organisms of cold water?
ok, in number 3, I really don't have an idea as to what he's really asking... I'll talk to him tomorrow about it, but if I can get started on it tonight, that would be great With regard to q2, I have included definitions of osmosis and diffusion, but I cannot find water's role in metabolism... None of our core texts mention this, and trying to get information from the net is like trying to get blood from a stone... The last question i mentioned is the last part of the one concerning icebergs... My chem teacher gave quite a good answer to the last part of this question, but being the pedantic/erratic jester that he is, I couldn't jot it down in my notes...
If anyone could give me a push in the right direction, that'd be great
