AP Biology Chapter 3 Water and the Fitness of the Environment 2.a.3 Organisms must exchange matter with the environment to grow, reproduce, and maintain organization. 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 4.1, 4.2 6.2 • Cohesion • Adhesion • High specific heat capacity • Universal solvent supports reactions • Heat of vaporization • Heat of fusion • Water’s thermal conductivity • Root hairs • Cells of the alveoli • Cells of the villi • Microvilli Concept 3.1: The polarity of water molecules results in hydrogen bonding Explanation of hydrogen bonding http://www.edinformatics.com/interactive_molecules/hydrogen_bonds.htm Activity: The Polarity of Water 1. Why is water such an important molecule in living organisms? http://www.johnkyrk.com/H2O.html ***** ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ 2. a) What do we mean when we say that water is a polar molecule? ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ AP Biology Ch 3 Page 1 b) What causes adjacent water molecules to stick to each other? Activity: Cohesion of Water 3.2 ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ AP Biology Ch 3 Page 2 3. How do the polar nature of water molecules and the resulting hydrogen bonding between adjacent water molecules affect the properties of water? a) Cohesion, adhesion and surface tension are important to living organisms: See Act 3B and Bioflix Water transport in plants. _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________ AP Biology Ch 3 Page 3 b) Water Moderates Temperature: _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________ AP Biology Ch 3 Page 4 c) Ice Floats: Fig 3.5 _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ AP Biology Ch 3 Page 5 d) Water is the solvent of life: Fig 3.7 ____________________________________________ ____________________________________________ ____________________________________________ ____________________________________________ ____________________________________________ ____________________________________________ ____________________________________________ ____________________________________________ ____________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ Fig 3.7 Lysosome -
