Water's unique properties, such as ice forming an insulating habitat, high latent heat for cooling, and high surface tension supporting invertebrates, make it essential for life and biological processes.
Water's properties make it a suitable habitat (ice acting as insulation, high latent heat for cooling), a buffer for chemical reactions, and a transport medium, with high surface tension supporting invertebrates.
| Back | - ice property allows it to act as habitat - buffer chemical reactions at high temps, high latent heat of vaporisation allows it to cool - constant enviro for enzymes to work in - high surface tension for habitat of inverterbrates - transport medium |
