  • Hydrogen bond

    close contact with opposing charges that attract each other

  • Dipole

    pair of equal and opposite charges

  • Metabolite

    used in lots of biochemical reactions

  • Transport medium

    blood is largely water

  • Solvent

    ions and polar molecules can dissolve in water - non-polar molecules can't

  • High specific heat capacity

    large amount of energy needed to raise its temperature, H+ bonds restrict movement

  • High latent heat of vaporisation

    a lot to change state - important in sweating

  • Cohesion

    attraction between water allows water to be transported in long columns through the xylem

  • Surface tension

    ordinary temperatures water has highest SF of any liquid aside from mercury

  • High density

    provides support and buoyancy. Ice is less dense than water resulting in it floating

  • Transparent

    needed for photosynthesis

  • Hydrolysis

    splits a molecule

  • Condensation

    product of a reaction
