2. a) Cohesion, high surface tension, high specific heat and lower density as a solid than as a liquid,
are emergent properties of water resulting from hydrogen bonding. Give examples of the
biological importance of each of the properties mentioned above.
i) Cohesion
ii) High surface tension
iii) High specific heat
iv) Less dense as a solid than as a liquid
