The structure of the water molecule. Water is a polar molecule, meaning that there is an uneven distribution of electrical charge. the hydrogen atoms are slightly positive and the oxygen atoms are slightly negative. This feature causes the two hydrogens to be pushed together, causing a 'V' shaped.

Universal solvent. Many other elements can easily dissolve in water. Ionic molecules dissolve easily in water for example sodium chloride, the Na atoms are attracted by the negative ends of the water molecule, and the Cl atoms are attracted to the positive ends of the water molecule. Plasma is mostly water and contains dissolved substances.

Thermal properties of water. The specific heat capacity of water is the amount of energy (in J) required to raise the temperature by 1cm3 of water by 1c. Water has a very high SHC as it requires a lot of energy to break down hydrogen bonds.

basic function of blood or a transport medium is to transport material within the body..there are unicellular (like bacteria) n simple multicellular organisms or u can say simple creatures do not have blood or any other transport medium..
What is Stuart's medium?

What role does water play cell survival?
Water equalizes the pressure between the outside and the inside of the cell wall, so it doesn't become damaged. It also is the transport medium for nutrients coming in, and waste exiting.
Difference between mode and means of transport?
The means of transport is the vehicle used to move from A to B. The mode of transport refers to the medium in or on which the movement takes place:1. inland surface (street, rail, inland water way); 2. sea (ocean, coastal); 3. air; 4. pipeline;
