WATER OUR LIFELINE Water is a transparent fluid which forms the world’s streams‚ lakes‚ oceans and rain‚ and is the major constituent of the fluids of living things. As a chemical compound‚ a water molecule contains one oxygen and two hydrogen atoms that are connected by covalent bonds. Water covers 71% of the Earth’s surface.[1] It is vital for all known forms of life. On Earth‚ 96.5% of the planet’s water is found in seas and oceans‚ 1.7% in groundwater‚ 1.7% in glaciers and the ice caps of Antarctica

Water is a chemical compound with the chemical formula H 2O. A water molecule contains one oxygen and two hydrogen atoms that are connected by covalent bonds. Water is a liquid at standard ambient temperature and pressure‚ but it often co-exists on Earth with its solid state‚ ice‚ and gaseous state‚ steam (water vapor). Water covers 71% of the Earth’s surface.[1] It is vital for all known forms of life. On Earth‚ 96.5% of the planet’s water is found in seas and oceans‚ 1.7% in groundwater‚ 1

------------------------------------------------- Subnetwork From Wikipedia‚ the free encyclopedia Creating a subnet by dividing the host identifier A subnetwork‚ or subnet‚ is a logically visible subdivision of an IP network.[1] The practice of dividing a network into two or more networks is called subnetting. All computers that belong to a subnet are addressed with a common‚ identical‚ most-significant bit-group in their IP address. This results in the logical division of an IP address into two

! Conclusion 1. What was the purpose of testing distilled water with each indicator? The purpose of testing distilled water was to have a standard for the other samples. 2. Given what you know about diabetes‚ explain why diabetics have to pay attention to the types of foods they ingest? Diabetics have to pay attention to the types of foods they eat because their bodies cannot break down and use glucose correctly. So‚ if they have too much glucose‚ they could go into diabetic shock.

Ecology EQ’s 2. Abiotic and biotic components influence each other. For instance‚ temperature (abiotic factor) can make plants (biotic factor) reproduce more or reproduce less. Also water‚ an abiotic factor‚ has an effect on how animals‚ a biotic factor‚ survive in certain areas of the world. 3. Because a different niche allows multiple species of organisms to coexist. If all organisms had the same niche‚ then there would be heavy competition for food‚ shelter‚ etc. Having different niches gives

Drinking too much water can lead to hyponatremia‚ water intoxication‚ water poisoning and death Liquid H2O is the sine qua non of life. Making up about 66 percent of the human body‚ water runs through the blood‚ inhabits the cells‚ and lurks in the spaces between. At every moment water escapes the body through sweat‚ urination‚ defecation or exhaled breath‚ among other routes. Replacing these lost stores is essential but rehydration can be overdone. There is such a thing as a fatal water overdose.

Water pollution Water pollution is the contamination of water bodies . Mostly water pollution occurs in lakes‚ rivers‚ oceans‚ aquifers and groundwater. Water pollution occurs when pollutants are directly or indirectly discharged into water bodies without adequate treatmentto remove harmful compounds. Type of water pollutions There are many types of water pollution because water comes from many sources. Here are a few types of water pollution: 1. Nutrients Pollution Some wastewater‚ fertilizers
