1. How would it affect organisms living in cold climates if oil or alcohol were their main body fluid?2. How do you think the cohesive nature of water relates to its evaporation?3. Describe in detail an experiment you could conduct to test whether another substance could replace water.
EVOLUTION CONNECTION The percentages of naturallyoccurring elements making up the human body (see Table 2.1)are similar to the percentages of these elements found in otherorganisms. How could you account for this similarity amongorganisms?
1) If you need to set a water bath for an experiment at human body temperature, what would be the physical state of water?
2) If you need to set a water bath for an experiment at "room temperature", what would be the physical state of water?
3) If you need to set a water bath for an experiement at "boiling point", what temperature in C will you use?
