The importance of water in Biological Systems Much of the Earths surface is comprised of water‚ as well as much of biological systems; for instance‚ the human body consists of approximately 70% of water‚ and in other biological organisms this figure could even be 95%. This largely relies on the bonding of water‚ whereby two hydrogen atoms bond to one oxygen atom; hydrogen bonding is the strongest intermolecular force due to its high polarity. Hence‚ what is the biological importance of water?

Water has importance inside cells and externally. This may be because it has interesting chemical and physical properties; it can be found naturally in all three of its states. However its molecules are bonded together by hydrogen bonds‚ this raises its melting and boiling points‚ i.e. its boiling point would be -120¢ªC rather than 100¢ªC. Also because it contains slightly negatively charged oxygen atoms and slightly positively charged hydrogen atoms making it polar. <br> <br>Water has been called

Acid Rain Acid rain is polluted rain. The pollutants go up to the atmosphere and when it rains it brings the pollution down with it. Sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide are the gases that form the acid rain. When these gases mix with moisture it can make rain‚ snow‚ hail‚ or even fog. The scientific term for acid rain is acid deposition which means when the acid is taken from the air and is deposited on the earth. Major industries‚ coal burning factories‚ power plants and automoble engines

Water is necessary for all living organisms on this planet‚ especially humans. Without water‚ you will die. You can make it about three weeks without food‚ but you can only make it about three days without water. I guess you can say that water is pretty important. In Flint Michigan‚ they can’t even drink their water without a serious risk to your health. About two years ago‚ the state decided to save money by switching Flint’s water supply from Lake Huron‚ to the Flint River. This plan backfired

years on water regulations for several years. California has been in a drought for about 8 years and the state is starting to regulate water but the people have a different idea. If California decides to keeps these strict water regulations there economy will suffer. Water regulations will make the economy suffer because the amount of jobs farmers provide would shrink horrendously. Pete Belluomini the vice-president of Farming for Lehr Brothers Inc. said that “if they regulated water he would

Water is the most important substance in our evolution and our daily lives. Without water‚ life as we know it would not have been possible. This essay will examine the water molecule in order to ascertain how it brought about Earth’s successful ecosystem and how important it is to us today. Each water molecule consists of one oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms. The oxygen atom bears a slight electronegative charge while hydrogen possesses a more positive one. Because opposite charges attract‚ the
