Explain the functional importance of the partial vacuum that exists in the intrapleural space?

If not present (and the intra-alveolar pressure equaled atmospheric pressure) the lungs would collapse.

The partial vacuum in the intrapleural space helps maintain the lungs' inflation and prevents lung collapse by creating a negative pressure that opposes the natural elastic recoil of the lungs. This vacuum also helps keep the lungs in close contact with the chest wall, allowing for efficient gas exchange during respiration.

Is ethanolamine polar?
Yes, ethanolamine is polar because of its polar functional groups (hydroxyl and amino groups) that create unequal sharing of electrons, resulting in a partial positive and partial negative charge within the molecule. This makes it soluble in water and other polar solvents.
Explain the henry's law about dissolution of in a liquid?
Henry's law states that, the partial pressure of the gas in vapour phase is proportional to the mole fraction of the gas in the solution.
What makes 2 propanol polar?
2-propanol (isopropyl alcohol) is polar because of the presence of the hydroxyl (OH) functional group, which creates a separation of charge within the molecule. The oxygen atom attracts electrons more strongly than the carbon atoms, resulting in a partial negative charge on the oxygen and a partial positive charge on the carbon atoms.
How can you tell if an amino acid was polar?
Polar amino acids contain functional groups like -OH, -SH, -NH2, or -COOH which make them hydrophilic and interact well with water molecules. They tend to be charged or have partial charges, and are often found on the surface of proteins involved in interactions with other molecules. Nonpolar amino acids lack these functional groups and are hydrophobic.
What struggle produces the partial negative and partial positive charges on a water molecule?
The unequal sharing of electrons between the oxygen and hydrogen atoms in a water molecule creates partial negative (on the oxygen atom) and partial positive (on the hydrogen atoms) charges. Oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen, so it attracts the shared electrons more strongly, leading to this partial charge separation.

Difference between partial dependency and fully functional dependency?
The difference is that partial dependency is when a database's attribute is only partially dependent on the primary key. Fully functional dependency is when the attribute is entirely dependent on the key.
What is partial dependencies?
Found a nice explanation here: http://www.e-consultancy.com/knowledge/glossary/1163/partial-functional-dependency.html In database terminology, a partial functional dependency occurs when the value in a non-key attribute of a table is dependent on the value of some part of the table's primary key (but not all of it).

What is Partial functional dependency?
Partial Functional Dependency Indicates that if A and B are attributes of a table , B is partially dependent on A if there is some attribute that can be removed from A and yet the dependency still holds. Say for Ex, consider the following functional dependency that exists in the Tbl_Staff table: StaffID,Name -------> BranchID BranchID is functionally dependent on a subset of A (StaffID,Name), namely StaffID.
