- Movemnt of materials around organisms requires a liquid transport medium
- COHESION
- water molecules stick to each other creating surface tension
- makes long thin water columns strong and difficult to break
- FREEZING
- forms ice on surface. water beneath ice is insulated and less likely to freeze
- THERMAL STSBILITY
- large bodies of water have fairly constant temperatures
- evaporation of water can cool surfaces by removing heat
- METABOLIC
- takes part as a reactant in some chemical processes
