Why is oxygen needed for oxidative phosphorylation?
Oxygen is one of the most electronegative elements in the biological world. This electronegativity is needed on the end of the electron transport chain. Electrons are passed from one complex or cytochrome to the next, and each successive molecule to be reduced needs to have a greater attraction for electrons than the last. So the end molecule, oxygen, needs to be electronegative enough to pull those electrons away, split and bond with two hydrogens to form water.
What is used to help water away greasy dirt?
a molecule with polar and nonpolar end
Does a fish turn water into oxygen?
No, not at all. Most fish extract the oxygen that is dissolved in the water, not the oxygen that is bound to hydrogen in the formation of water. This is one reason that most aquariums have an aerator bubbling away - it is adding oxygen to be dissolved by the water.
Which non metal is stored under water and why?
Phosphorus to keep oxygen away from it so that it does not get oxidised
What breaks down earths surface?
Primarily the erosive power of wind and water. Rivers and rain will wear away even the hardest stone.
What explain is negative charge on the oxygen atom within the water molecule?
Oxygen atoms are highly electronegative and pull electrons away from the electropositive hydrogen atom.
Can chemical reactions take away water?
It is possible to change water into another form. H20 may be changed into other forms through chemcial reactions. A process known as electrolysis breaks water into Hydrogen and Oxygen.
What is an example of dipole dipole?
an example would be an O2 that meets water. The electrons in the O2 molecule all move to the opposite side of each atom, away from the negatively charged Oxygen in H2O, thus leaving a slightly negative charge on the side away from the H2O molecule and a slightly positive charge towards the H2O molecule. The positive attract the negative electrons in the water.
How is oxygen separated?
take oxygen and water in cup the mix it and take oxygen in hand and threw it away
What is the most hydrophobic molecule?
Probably the most hydrophobic molecule is the cholesterol molecule. It is composed mostly of fat and therefore will move away when exposed to water,

What are concave disks with a squashed in center that transport oxygen and carry away some carbon dioxide?
the Hemoglobin is a molecule in red blood cells that carries oxygen and carbon dioxide

Does water put oxygen in your body?
No. We cannot get oxygen from water. The oxygen that forms part of the water itself is locked away in H2O molecules and our bodies have no way of extracting it. Most water does contain dissolved oxygen, but since we do not have gills we cannot extract that either.
What are the parts of the phosopholipid molecule?
There are two parts to the phospholipid molecule. One is a hydrophobic hydrocarbon chain, which points away from water. The other is a hydrophilic phosphate ionic group, often represented as the "head" of the molecule, which points towards water.
The water molecule H2O is polar because it contains two polar single bonds and?
It's polar because the oxygen molecule is more electronegative than both the hydrogen atoms together. This means that the oxygen atom attracts the electron of each hydrogen more strongly than the hydrogens, so the electrons spend more time around the oxygen. Since a hydrogen by itself is neutral, when its electron (negative) is pulled away it becomes (partially) positive. And the oxygen, having more of the electron, becomes more negative. So you now have a molecule with an area of negative charge (the oxygen) and an area of positive charge (the hydrogens). This positive/negative charge within the molecule makes it polar.
