2
Q
Solvent
A
In which metabolic reactions occur
3
Q
Relatively high specific heat capacity
A
Buffering changes in temperature
4
Q
Relatively large latent heat of vaporisation
A
Providing a cooling effect with little loss of water through evaporation
5
Q
Strong cohesion between water molecules
A
Supports columns of water in the tube-like transport cells of plants and produces surface tension where water meets air
