water propertys

3. and water, Pure water has a neutral pH of 7. The pH of water can change when substances are dissolved in it. making it either acidic or basic. this is important in maintaining proper conditions for biological processes.
5. water molecules stick to each other due to hydrogen bonding. this causes water to have a high surface tension, allowing insects to walk on water or droplets to form.
6. role in temerature regulaion, due to its high speific heat. water can aborbe or relice large amounts of heat with little change in its own temerature. makeing it essential for regulating temeratures in organisms and enverments.
7. water molecules also stick to other substances. this is why water can climb up plant roots and stems in a process called capillary action.
9. Action, Capillary action is the ability of water to flow in narrow spaces without the assistance of external forces. this isa result of both cohesion and adhesion and is crucial for the movement of water through plant tissue.
10. and ice formation, Water is most dense at 4C but as it cools further and freezes it becomes less dense. this is why ice floats on water. The floating ice insulates the water below. helping aquatic life survive in cold environments.
11. Solvent, water is known as the "universal solvent" becasue it can dissolve a wide range of substances. this property is vital for many biological processes. such as transporting nutrients and waste products in organisms.

1. tension, waters surface tension is caused by the cohesive forces between water molecules. this proterty allows water to fourm droplets and enables small organisms, like water striders to walk on water.
2. heat, water has a high specific heat meaning it can also absorb a lot of heat energy without a significant rise in temperature.
4. water(H2O) is a polar molecule, meaning it has a partial positive charge on one end and a partial negative charge on the other end.
8. water requires a lot of energy to change from a liquid to a gas. this high heat of vaporization allows organisms too cool off through sweating or transpiration without losing too much water
