Question 1

What are the properties of water

Answer 1

1. Water is a polar molecule due to the Uneven distribution of charge
2. Water is a polar solvent and can be used to transport many biological molecules ( as many of them are polar and dissolve)
3. Hydrogen bonding creates cohesion and adhesion which enables the effective transport of substances through the xylem
4. Hydrogen bonding is strong giving water a high specific heat capacity , minimizing temperature fluctuations.
