- Water
- High specific heat capacity
- This is where water can absorb or release a large quantity of heat energy with little change in temperature
- There is a lot of energy needed for a change in temperature so the body can easily regulate its temperature.
- This is where water can absorb or release a large quantity of heat energy with little change in temperature
- Functions
- Cell life
- Chemical and metabolic
- Transport of nutrients and removal of waste
- Body temperature regualtion

- This is where water can absorb or release a large quantity of heat energy with little change in temperature
- High specific heat capacity
- Polar
- This is where the two hydrogen atoms are slightly positive and the oxygen atoms are slightly negative.
- Polarity makes a good solvent because the slight positive charges mean that ions can dissolve into the water as they are either positive or negatively charged.
- This is where the two hydrogen atoms are slightly positive and the oxygen atoms are slightly negative.
- High latent heat of evaporation
- The heat applied to effect a change of state at the boiling point.
- This is important for cooling down the body in the form of sweating.
- The heat applied to effect a change of state at the boiling point.
- Chemical Formula
- H2O
- This is where the two hydrogen atoms are slightly positive and the oxygen atoms are slightly negative.
- Polarity makes a good solvent because the slight positive charges mean that ions can dissolve into the water as they are either positive or negatively charged.
- Cohesive
- This means that water molecules are attracted to each other because of the attraction between the hydrogen's from the hydrogen bonds.
- This cohesive nature means that the hydrogen bonds allows for the development of surface tension, the capacity of the substance to withstand being ruptured when placed under tension or stress
- This means that water molecules are attracted to each other because of the attraction between the hydrogen's from the hydrogen bonds.
- High specific heat capacity
