Water

Very cohesive-

• Allows it to be pulled up the xylem of a plant
• Creates surface tension

Slightly positively charged
Hydrogen bonding

Solvent-

• Gases, O2, CO2
• Waters, Ammonia, and Urea
• Inorganic ion and hydrophllic molecules
• Enzymes whose reactions take place in solutions

Dipolar molecule
H2O
High Specific Heat Capcity
Latent heat of vapourisation

Evaporation cause water to act as a coolant for organisms

Transparent-

• aqautic plants can photosynthesise
• light rays reach retina 

Metabolism-

• Used for hydrolysis
• Chemical reaction happen in aqeous mediums
• Used in photosynthesis

Surface tension-

• Strong enough to support small organisms- pond skaters
