Water

• Water is a crucial element in cells.
• It acts as a metabolite in many metabolic reactions, including condensation and hydrolysis.
• Water functions as a significant solvent for metabolic reactions.
• It has a high heat capacity, hence reduces temperature changes.
• Water has a large latent heat of vaporisation which aids in cooling with minimal water loss through evaporation.
• Strong cohesion between water molecules supports columns of water in plant transport cells and creates surface tension.
• Understanding the importance of water to life is critical and it is necessary to relate it to different concepts.
• The structure and bonding of water explains its importance; this could be a potential long question.
