The Vital Role of Water in Living Organisms

As we know every living thing needs water to survive .Water (H2O) is the most vital molecule in the cells, it 's made up of two hydrogen atoms and also consists an oxygen atom. Water makes up between 70 percent of the human body, this shows how much water is important to the living organisms. This is the only substance we always come across as a solid, liquid, and a gas, as the temperature increases the average kinetic energy of the molecules multiplies. According to “H.H Mitchell, journal of biological chemistry 158", the brain and heart are composed of 73% water”, this gives us an understanding of how vital water is to us (humans) and all living things. Without it we would not be able to survive and our bodies would not be able to work as

Hydrogen has a lower electronegravity than oxygen, the side of the oxygen atoms has a partial negative charge, and because of the charge difference it is called a dipole (dipole-a pair of equal and oppositely charged). The electrons in the covalent bonding are not shared equally.

Water is very essential to our bodies as it is a solvent, it is capable to dissolve a lot of different constituents in our bodies, and this is why water is such an effective solvent. It’s also referred as the “universal solvent” because of its capabilities of dissolving more liquids than most of the other liquids. It’s able to dissolve things such as salts, sugars and amino acids will dissolve readily in water. Water is also imperative to all living things because it’s able to transports minerals, and nutrients.

Water is the main source of transportation means for minerals and nutrients to go in and for the toxic waste that need to go out. When water moves the essential cells around the body it keeps the tissues e.g. the mucous membranes, hydrated, and it also functions in keeping all the body systems hydrated which will ensure your body to worker
