About Biological Importance of Water

Water supports life through its polarity, hydrogen bonding and ability to dissolve ionic and polar substances. Its high specific heat, heat of vaporization, cohesion, adhesion and incompressibility help regulate temperature, transport materials and maintain structure, while hydrolysis and osmosis depend directly on water.
