CHEMICAL ELEMENTS IN THE BODY
between water
molecules and other
substances is called
ADHESION.
WATER MOLECULES ARE COHESIVE AND
ADHESIVE
Adhesion and
cohesion result
because the
hydrogen bonds hold
the water molecules
together.
it contributes to the
transport of water in
plants.
A tension is created that
stabilized in organisms
and the environment,
thereby protecting
organisms from rapid
changes in temperature.
High heat of vaporization
Transition of a liquid to a gas
Water cools body surfaces
as a result of dispensing
heat as sweat evaporates
from the body.
High heat capacity and
Basic: pH 7.01–14.00
• pH 7 represents a NEUTRAL pH because the hydrogen
and hydroxide ion concentrations are equal.
• The pH below 7 is ACIDIC because the hydrogen ion
concentration is greater than the hydroxide
concentration.
• The pH above 7 is BASIC because hydroxide ion
concentration is greater than hydrogen ions.
A PH SCALE
pH scale ranges from 0
(most acidic) to 14
(most basic)
