question

What properties of water make it an essential component of living matter?

category

biology

options

  1. Water serves as a poor solvent
  2. Water has a high compressibility that allows it to act as a cushion for cellular structures.
  3. Water is a strong acid, contributing to the chemical reactions in the cell.
  4. Water is scarce in cells
  5. Water is a poor conductor of electricity, which is essential for nerve impulse transmission.
  6. Water is the most abundant molecule in the cell, an excellent solvent, has a high heat capacity, serves in heat regulation, as a lubricant, and in the transport of nutrients.
  7. Water has a low surface tension, which does not support capillary action.
  8. Water is immiscible with many organic compounds, preventing reactions within cells.
  9. Water has a low boiling point, which helps to maintain cellular temperature under extreme heat conditions.
  10. Water has a low heat capacity
