- Water is the medium through which all essential vitamins and minerals are transported in the bodies of living organisms (owing to its ability to dissolve a wide range of substances).
- Water also plays a vital role in facilitating the work of enzymes in living organisms. For example, the sodium bicarbonate secreted by the pancreas is broken down into ions by water, making the medium sufficiently alkaline for the enzymes to work.
- Water helps maintain body temperatures in plants and animals. In order to decrease the temperature in their bodies, animals lose water via perspiration (sweating) and plants lose water via transpiration.
- Since water can rise in capillary tubes without any external help, it can be transported from the roots of trees to every other part of the tree.
- Water is an integral part of photosynthesis. Without it, autotrophic plants would not be able to produce their own food.
- Water serves as a habitat for more than 50% of all life on Earth.
