New cards

5 Properties of water:

  • Cohesive

  • Metabolite

  • High specific heat capacity

  • High latent heat vapourisation

  • Solvent

3
New cards

Explain benefits of water being cohesive:

Allows for water to move continuously in columns e.g. in the xylem

4
New cards

Explain benefits of water being metabolite:

Metabolite in many metabolic reactions, including condensation and hydrolysis reactions

5
New cards

Explain benefits of water having high specific heat capacity:

Buffering changes in temperature

6
New cards

Explain benefits of water having high latent heat vapourisation:

Providing a cooling effect with little loss of water through evaporation

7
New cards

Explain benefits of water as a solvent:

It is a polar molecule therefore several substances can be dissolved and transported around the body
