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.
