The placenta facilitates the exchange of various molecules between the maternal and fetal circulations. Key molecules that cross the placenta include oxygen and carbon dioxide, nutrients such as glucose and amino acids, and waste products like urea. Additionally, antibodies can transfer from the mother to the fetus, providing passive immunity. Hormones and other signaling molecules might also pass through, playing roles in fetal development and maternal adaptations.

When a substance is raised to its melting teperature what happens to the atom or molecules?

The inter-molecular bonds between the atoms/molecules are broken, releasing the atoms/molecules from a ridged structure to a freely moving mass.

Why solids is not compressible why?

solid is a state in which molecules are closely packed than liquids and gases. the inter molecular distance between the molecules of solids are less or negligible.thats why the solids are not compressible


How does solid turn to liquid?

Solids are made up of molecules which have more intermolecular attraction. So these molecules are held together closely. But in case of liquids the inter molecular attraction less. So there is inter molecular space between the molecules. They are not very close to one another. When the inter molecular attraction between the molecules is lost or reduced the solids turn into liquids. When the solid is heated because of the heat the kinetic energy of the molecules is increased and the molecules start moving away from each other. So the inter molecular attraction is lost or reduced. So the solid turns into liquids.
