what is the percentage of water in the body

60-70%

what is the importance of water

a reactant in cells, structural support and keeps organisms maintaining body temp

properties of water

metabolic importance, solvent, high heat capacity, cohesive, surface tension and its heat of vaporisation

what are the contents of a water molecule

one oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms

polarity of water

oxygen atoms are slightly negatively charged and hydrogen atoms are slightly positively charged

hydrolysis eqaution

ATP+H2O = ADP+ Pi + energy

condensation equation

ADP + Pi + energy = ATP + H2O
