Properties of water - • Exists as a liquid at most places on Earth's surface • Expands when it freezes; which is important in the weathering of rock • Hydrogen bonding creates surface tension, a "skin" of molecules giving water a stickiness quality - surface tension • Capillarity; water can "climb" up narrow openings. This is important to the movement of groundwater. • Good solvent; water dissolves most substances • High specific heat; it takes a relatively high amount ...

This is the notes on chapters 1-3 in the lumen Lifespan Development textbook.

ALTERATIONS IN CELLULAR PROCESSES At its core, pathology is the study of disease. Diseases occur for many reasons. But some, such as cystic fibrosis and Parkinson’s Disease, occur because of alterations that prevent cells from functioning normally. Understanding of signals and symptoms of alterations in cellular processes is a critical step in diagnosis and treatment of many diseases. For the Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN), this understanding can also help educate patients and...
