Polarity of H20 molecule- Allows H20 molecules to easily surround and dissolve other polar substances. This is important to living as water can "carry" dissolved minerals, nutrients, and chemicals throughout the body and is a medium for chemical reactions to take place.
Water is denser as a liquid than as a solid- This allows water in its solid phase (ice) to float above liquid water. It's important if you ever looked at a lake or pond during the winter. The ice floats above while water underneath is still in its liquid phase. Because ice is semi- transparent, it allows sunlight to pass through- trapping heat underneath, allowing photosynthesis to take place and preventing the whole entire lake from freezing over. If water were denser in its solid state compared to its liquid state, ice would just sink to the bottom and allow the whole ecosystem in the lake to freeze over and die.
High surface tension- Water's polarity gives it this property and makes individual molecules clump together into droplets rather than spreading out in a thin layer. This is important to organisms such as trees. When a molecule of water goes up the roots of a tree, individual molecules "pull" one another upwards. If it weren't for this property, plants would have trouble transporting water from their roots to their leaves for photosynthesis.
What else can I help you with?
What organisms complete photosynthesis?
Plants, algae, and some bacteria are organisms that can complete photosynthesis. They use chlorophyll to convert sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide into glucose (sugar) and oxygen, which are essential for their growth and survival.
How do organisms use a watershed?
Organisms use a watershed for drinking water, absorbing nutrients, sheltering and reproducing. Watersheds provide habitats for various plants and animals to thrive, supporting biodiversity and ecological balance. The health of a watershed directly impacts the health and survival of the organisms living within it.
What organisms require sunlight to live?
Organisms that require sunlight to live are typically photosynthetic, such as plants, algae, and some bacteria. These organisms use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into energy through the process of photosynthesis. Sunlight provides the energy needed to drive this process and is essential for their survival and growth.
What uses sunlight to change inorganic substances into organic compounds?
Photosynthesis is the process in which plants and some other organisms use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into organic compounds like glucose. This process produces oxygen as a byproduct and is essential for the survival of most living organisms.
Which organisms do NOT depend on mitochondria to survive?
Some examples of organisms that do not depend on mitochondria for survival are hydrogenosomes-containing organisms such as some anaerobic protists, fungi, and unicellular eukaryotes. These organisms use hydrogenosomes to generate energy in the absence of mitochondria. Additionally, some parasitic microorganisms lack functional mitochondria and rely on their host's cellular machinery for survival.
What is the difference between desert forest?
Deserts are areas of very little rainfall. Organisms living there are able to survive on very little water. Logically, organisms in a rain forest likely use a great deal of water for survival.
What are two examples of activities of life that organisms use energy for?
Survival and replicating
What is the most important use of water?
its used for animals to drink and for used to use for??
What organisms complete photosynthesis?
Plants, algae, and some bacteria are organisms that can complete photosynthesis. They use chlorophyll to convert sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide into glucose (sugar) and oxygen, which are essential for their growth and survival.
What body parts does a flamingo use for survival?
All of them. As do all other organisms, including you.
What is used by organisms to live?
Organisms use a variety of resources to live, including food for energy, water for hydration, oxygen for respiration, and shelter for protection. In addition, organisms also rely on other organisms for processes such as mutualism, parasitism, and predation to support their survival and reproduction.
How do organisms use a watershed?
Organisms use a watershed for drinking water, absorbing nutrients, sheltering and reproducing. Watersheds provide habitats for various plants and animals to thrive, supporting biodiversity and ecological balance. The health of a watershed directly impacts the health and survival of the organisms living within it.
What organisms require sunlight to live?
Organisms that require sunlight to live are typically photosynthetic, such as plants, algae, and some bacteria. These organisms use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into energy through the process of photosynthesis. Sunlight provides the energy needed to drive this process and is essential for their survival and growth.
Use the word vital in a sentence?
Water is vital for survival. i.e we need water to live.
Is osmotic pressure essential for the survival of the organism?
Yes. Organisms use osmosis to absorb nutrients across cell walls.
why do orgnism die if they do not hae enough water?
Organisms die if they do not have enough water because they need the water to keep them hydrated. Organisms use the water to help them grow and survive. Organisms are like humans. Without food or water, humans would die! Same with organisms.
What is a situation in which 2 or more organisms attempt to use the same scarce resources?
Competition will occur between organisms in an ecosystem when their niches overlap, they both try to use the same resource and the resource is in short supply. Animals compete for food, water and space to live. Plants compete for light, water, minerals and root space.
