-Water is important in the process of hydrolysis -Water transports substances -Water helps with control of temperature due to it's high specific capacity -

Structure of Water
A molecule of water is made up of Oxygen and 2 Hydrogen atoms - Negative hydrogen electrons are pulled towards the Oxygen and the atom is left with an slight positive charge -This makes water a polar molecule as it is partially negative and positive.

Functions of Water
Hydrogen bonds give water a high specific heat capacity -hydrogen bonds give water a high latent heat of evaporation -water polarity makes it very cohesive -water's polarity makes it a good solvent -water is less dense when solid

Briefly describe the structure of a water molecule.
A molecule of water is one oxygen and two hydrogens, which are slightly negative (H) and slightly positive (O), making it polar.
