1. Water cohesiveness makes the water to be attracted and stick to another water. This is
important in life in a way that it makes the rivers, lake and other bodies of water to flow
towards the ocean or the bigger body of water. This is also the reason why water has High
boiling point or low vapor pressure. Therefore, it's hard for water to evaporate and thus our
bodies of water are still abundant. This property of water creates surface tension causing the
water to act like an elastic membrane allowing objects (specially small objects) to float in its
surface.
2. Well, cohesion and adhesion are vital for transportation of water molecules into roots and
stems of a plant in order to nourish nutrients. Basically, adhesion allows the water molecules to
stay in touch to the stems and roots of the plant through sticking or gripping, and this process is
called capillary action, it is where the ability of the liquid to flow upward or against gravity in a
narrow space. On the other hand, cohesion enables to keep water molecules stay together and
pull-down water into roots and stems.
3. This property of water is not only crucial to us as people, but it is also present in almost
everything we see. Because water has a high specific heat, it requires a large amount of heat to
raise its temperature and helps to keep the environment's temperature from getting excessively
hot or cold. High specific heat also controls the temperature of humans, as our bodies are made
up of 66 percent water. To summarize, high specific heat is critical because it can absorb a lot of
heat without significantly raising the temperature.
4. Any process of maintaining steady circumstances essential for living is referred to as
homeostasis. The entire amount of energy required to turn a liquid to a gas is known as heat of
vaporization. Humans sweat even when they are not moving or exercising, but your homeostasis
delivers signals to your sweat glands to make you sweat and cool you down, allowing you to
maintain homeostasis. Therefore, this property of water helps and other organisms to maintain
homeostasis in terms of their body temperature by means of evaporation
5. Aqueous organisms can also vary in their needs of type of water, especially its density. There are
organisms living at the bottom of the sea wherein they either need sunlight or not at all. The
density of the water classifies if sunlight can pass through or not. The denser it gets, the less
sunlight that can pass through. Hence water density is very important for the aqueous
organisms.
6. Biomolecules are surrounded by water it is because water is a polar molecule and biomolecules
are polar as well which means both of them attract each other, the polarity of water has the
ability to form hydrogen bonds that enables it to dissolve different kinds of molecules. Thus,
 water helps cell transport molecules like oxygen for respiration and nutrients throughout our
body and by that it can inevitably support and maintain a life
7. Being the versatile solvent means that water can dissolve more substances than any other
liquids. This is why water is important to every living thing on earth. Simply means that
wherever the water goes, it takes essential chemicals, minerals and nutrients that is soon be
consumed by many organisms.
