Are molecules in hot water different then molecules in cold water?
If you have the same volume of both then there are in cold water more molecules.
In which state of matter are the molecules of water bunched together?
Water molecules bunch together in the state of a solid.
How do water drops hold on to the penny?
Water molecules stick together because of the electrical charges in the water create a bond.
Does boiling water have oxygen in it?
No,boiling water does not have oxygen . Cold water molecules move slowly meaning there is space between the molecules for more oxygen to dissolve. Hot water molecules move rapidly meaning the space between the water molecules is less avalible for the oxygen molecues to dissolve into.
What is the difference between hydrophillic and hydrophobic molecules?
Hydrophobic molecules do not come in contact with water; they "fear" water (root word, phobic). Hydrophilic molecules, on the other hand, do come in contact with water; they "love" water (root word, philic). [hydro means water]
Why ink diffuses faster than honey in water?
the ink diffuses faster than water because the ink has very small particles in it and it occupies space in between the molecules of water but honey is more denser than water and its Viscosity is more than water.thats why ink diffuses faster than ink
What is an example of molecules that diffuses out of a cell?
Water, sodium, potassium, glucose all diffuse in and out of the cell.
Methane gas diffuses through air because the molecules are?
moving randomly
The diffusion of water across a semipermeable membrane is called?
When water diffuses through a semipermeable membrane, such as a cell, it is called osmosis. In osmosis the concentration of water will differ on one side of the membrane from that of the other side. Water molecules will tend to diffuse from the high concentration side to the lower.
The water in a cell does what?
diffuses in and out of the cell
What diffuses from the kidney back into the blood stream?
Water diffuses from the kidney back into the blood stream.
How do unicellular get water?
Water diffuses across their cell membranes
What process is osmosis?
It is a process that diffuses water
What processes osmosis?
It is a process that diffuses water
How mammals get water into their cells?
Water diffuses freely across the plasmalemma.
What molecules diffuses through the lipid portion of the plasma membrane?
Any hydrophobic ones. eg. steroids
What is example of diffusion?
Tape a piece of wax paper over the window and it diffuses (spreads) the light. In the body: Oxygen molecules diffuse across cell membranes into cells, and carbon dioxide molecules diffuse out. Both compounds cross the phospholipid bilayer. In a non-living system: Place a small lump of sugar in a cup of tea (or just water). The sugar dissolves, then diffuses throughout the liquid. To see diffusion happening, use not sugar but a small crystal of potassium permanganate in water. The color will gradually disperse through the water.
