The thermodynamic properties governing the surface tension between water molecules and the grains of sand serve to hold the parts of Olaf together. Moreover, the sunlight on this sand sculpture establishes differential temperatures and associated water evaporation on the surface compared to the inner composition; consequently, the adhesion between sand grains on the surface rapidly becomes reduced, whereas more centrally located grains hold tight (i.e., until the tide changes). Answer the following questions: Could these same thermodynamic principles govern the connections between cells that support morphogenesis of the embryo? What is the role played by biophysical properties in mechanisms of morphogenesis?

A solution with 0.4M sucrose will have a higher water potential than a solution with 0.5M sucrose. True or False
The atmospheric ratio of peroxyacetic nitric anhydride (PAN) to PAN + inorganic nitrite varies from less than 0.1 to 0.9. High values of the ratio are associated with photo chemically aged air masses, situations where precipitation has recently occurred, and situations were unusually high nighttime nitrogen oxide concentrations are found. What do these observations tell us about the factors affecting the relative rates of formation and removal of nitrogen oxide compounds?
