1.2 Water Properties

QuestionAnswer
Ice is less dense than water, so it floats. Which property of water is demonstrated above? Choose: expansion upon freezing, universal solvent, moderates temperature cohesive behavior Expansion Upon Freezing
Stable ice structures can preserve organic matter for thousands or millions of years. Which property of water is demonstrated above? Choose: expansion upon freezing, universal solvent, moderates temperature cohesive behavior Expansion Upon Freezing
Water dissolves polar substances Which property of water is demonstrated above? Choose: expansion upon freezing, universal solvent, moderates temperature cohesive behavior Universal Solvent
Water takes in and transports nutrients through the body of organisms. Which property of water is demonstrated above? Choose: expansion upon freezing, universal solvent, moderates temperature cohesive behavior Universal Solvent
Water’s ability to stick to other water molecules. Which property of water is demonstrated above? Choose: expansion upon freezing, universal solvent, moderates temperature cohesive behavior Cohesive Behavior
Ice forms on the surface of a lake insulating the water below allowing organisms to survive. Which property of water is demonstrated above? Choose: expansion upon freezing, universal solvent, moderates temperature cohesive behavior Expansion Upon Freezing
Water takes a long time to cool down before it freezes, delaying the formation of ice. Which property of water is demonstrated above? Choose: expansion upon freezing, universal solvent, moderates temperature cohesive behavior Moderate Temperature
Water travels up the xylem to the leaves of the plant so they can perform photosynthesis. Which property of water is demonstrated above? Choose: expansion upon freezing, universal solvent, moderates temperature cohesive behavior Cohesive Behavior
Water collects in small puddles to become habitat for bacteria, protists, and small insects. Which property of water is demonstrated above? Choose: expansion upon freezing, universal solvent, moderates temperature cohesive behavior Cohesive Behavior
Coastal areas have milder temperatures because the nearby ocean absorbs heat during the day, cooling the land. Which property of water is demonstrated? Choose: expansion upon freezing, universal solvent, moderates temperature cohesive behavior Moderate Temperature
When water freezes in the cracks of rocks, weathering occurs to create soil for plants to grow in. Which property of water is demonstrated above? Choose: expansion upon freezing, universal solvent, moderates temperature cohesive behavior Expansion Upon Freezing
Water dissolves and carries away waste from organisms. Which property of water is demonstrated above? Choose: expansion upon freezing, universal solvent, moderates temperature cohesive behavior Universal Solvent
Sea ice leaves behind denser, saltier water adding to the ocean currents. Which property of water is demonstrated above? Choose: expansion upon freezing, universal solvent, moderates temperature cohesive behavior Expansion Upon Freezing
Water dissolves reactants and enzymes that allow chemical reactions to occur. Which property of water is demonstrated above? Choose: expansion upon freezing, universal solvent, moderates temperature cohesive behavior Universal Solvent
Cells are made of majority water, which helps to maintain a stable internal body temperature. Which property of water is demonstrated above? Choose: expansion upon freezing, universal solvent, moderates temperature cohesive behavior Moderate Temperature
Surface tension allows insects to walk and hunt on the surface of water. Which property of water is demonstrated above? Choose: expansion upon freezing, universal solvent, moderates temperature cohesive behavior Cohesive Behavior
Arctic birds use sea ice for resting and nesting sites. Which property of water is demonstrated above? Choose: expansion upon freezing, universal solvent, moderates temperature cohesive behavior Expansion Upon Freezing
Water takes in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to be used by plants for photosynthesis. Which property of water is demonstrated above? Choose: expansion upon freezing, universal solvent, moderates temperature cohesive behavior Universal Solvent
Polar bears use floating ice sheets to hunt, travel, mate, and den. Which property of water is demonstrated above? Choose: expansion upon freezing, universal solvent, moderates temperature cohesive behavior Expansion Upon Freezing
Organisms sweat to prevent overheating and maintain a stable internal temperature. Which property of water is demonstrated above? Choose: expansion upon freezing, universal solvent, moderates temperature cohesive behavior Moderate Temperature
Blood continuously moves through the body in small vessels. Which property of water is demonstrated above? Choose: expansion upon freezing, universal solvent, moderates temperature cohesive behavior Cohesive Behavior
Water can dissolve acids and bases to maintain a consistent pH in organisms. Which property of water is demonstrated above? Choose: expansion upon freezing, universal solvent, moderates temperature cohesive behavior Universal Solvent
Water droplets form the clouds and lead to precipitation. Which property of water is demonstrated above? Choose: expansion upon freezing, universal solvent, moderates temperature cohesive behavior Cohesive Behavior
Large bodies of water maintain a constant a temperature so organisms can survive. Which property of water is demonstrated above? Choose: expansion upon freezing, universal solvent, moderates temperature cohesive behavior Moderate Temperature
Water stored in the vacuole of a plant maintains turgor pressure for photosynthesis and growth. Which property of water is demonstrated above? Choose: expansion upon freezing, universal solvent, moderates temperature cohesive behavior Cohesive Behavior
Oceans absorb and release large amounts of heat with very slight changes. Which property of water is demonstrated above? Choose: expansion upon freezing, universal solvent, moderates temperature cohesive behavior Moderate Temperature
Water has a high specific heat, so it does not change temperature easily. Which property of water is demonstrated above? Choose: expansion upon freezing, universal solvent, moderates temperature cohesive behavior Moderate Temperature

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
