water is not easily compressible which is important for the worm because it helps maintain the shape of it's hydro-skeleton.

it also helps regulate the internal temperature of the worm because water has a high specific heat capacity.]]> 2018-09-24 03:00:09 UTC https://padlet.com/krose_ep/d0jmb0exzf54/wish/284842133 https://padlet.com/krose_ep/d0jmb0exzf54/wish/284842203 The body regulates temperature by sweating ( thermoregulation) and it does this by releasing sweat onto the skin through pores. This cools the body because the water then evaporates using the heat energy from the body and thus cooling the body down. This relates to the latent heat capacity of water. It requires a lot of heat energy to evaporate each molecule so the body can cool down quickly, without this the body would retain heat energy and could cause health problems and denaturing of proteins like enzymes.]]> 2018-09-24 03:00:41 UTC https://padlet.com/krose_ep/d0jmb0exzf54/wish/284842203 https://padlet.com/krose_ep/d0jmb0exzf54/wish/284842269 Water is transparent and not easily compressed and a good solvent. 

It is not easily compressed which is good as it helps maintain the shape of the eyeball, much like a balloon filled with water. 

It is transparent which allows the light to reach the retina to be made into electric impulses for the brain to interpret.

It is a good solvent which means nutrients and minerals can be dissolved to sustain the cells in the eye that are not directly connected to capillaries.]]> 2018-09-24 03:01:12 UTC https://padlet.com/krose_ep/d0jmb0exzf54/wish/284842269 https://padlet.com/krose_ep/d0jmb0exzf54/wish/284842434 Water has a high surface tension because it is a dipolar molecule.  This cause it to form cohesive forces with other water molecules through hydrogen bonds.  This is useful in transpiration when water leaves the leaves more water is pulled up through the xylem against gravity which is known as capillary action. Because water is dipolar it is able to stick to things. In the photo you can see that water is stuck to the outside of the shoot by adhesion. This is because the water molecule is dipolar. Due to the high surface tension the water molecules form a sphere shape.]]> 2018-09-24 03:02:32 UTC https://padlet.com/krose_ep/d0jmb0exzf54/wish/284842434 https://padlet.com/krose_ep/d0jmb0exzf54/wish/284842759 The Dipolar nature of Water. The conversion of ATP to ADP is a hydrolysis reaction. As water is added an inorganic phosphate group is removed, this releases energy. A condensation reaction can then be used to convert the ADP back into ATP. You have input energy to get back an output energy.]]> 2018-09-24 03:04:30 UTC https://padlet.com/krose_ep/d0jmb0exzf54/wish/284842759
