1.) What gives water all its properties? 2.) What type of bond joins H2O to another H2O and forms cohesion? 3.) What property of water prevents rapid temperature change inside the body of organism? 4.) Which property of water allows water to attach to roots of plants for capillary action? 5.) Water is found in many compounds such as blood, saliva, sweat because of which property of water? 6.)Which property of water causes water to form drops? 7.)Which property of water helps maintain extreme temperature changes in an area? 8.) What happens to hydrogen bonds when water turns to ice? 9.) Why doesn't water break down fat? 10.)Which property of water causes surface tension? Cohesion, Adhesion, High heat capacity, high heat vaporization and polarity

Water is a polar molecule that is held together by hydrogen bonds to form strong cohesive forces. This accounts for the surface tension in water. Surface tension is the force acting on water that it makes to behave like a stretched elastic skin.

The polarity of water accounts for the fact that it is found in several parts of the body where it largely plays the role of a polar solvent.

High heat capacity of water enables it to function well in the area of thermoregulation in the body. High heat vaporization accounts for the fact that water helps maintain extreme temperature changes in an area.

When in solid state, the hydrogen bonded network in water becomes rigid and forms a very stable network of water molecules. Being polar, water does not interact with fat because like dissolves like.

In plants, the attachment of water to plant roots is known as adhesion and is necessary for the capillary movement of nutrients to plants via the root.
