Properties and Biological Applications of Water
The properties of water results from its polarity and hydrogen bonding, which makes it an essential molecule for life. Answer the following prompts based on you knowledge of the water molecules and its properties.
Question 1
Explain how the properties of water, resulting from its polarity and hydrogen bonding, influence its biological functions. Discuss two specific properties of water in detail, providing examples of biological processes or systems where these properties play a crucial role. Include a discussion of how these properties contribute to the unique characteristics of water and its significance in living organisms.
Question 2
Describe and analyze two distinct biological processes or phenomena where the properties of water are essential. For each process or phenomenon, explain how the specific properties of water (polarity and hydrogen bonding) are directly involved. Discuss the implications of these properties in the context of the biological systems you have chosen and how they contribute to the overall functioning of living organisms.
