Essаy questiоn: Reаd Openstаx Biоlоgy 2E Section 2.2-Water.Water is often called the ‘matrix of life’ because of its chemical properties. Choose one human physiological process (e.g., sweat cooling, blood pH regulation, nutrient transport) and explain how the properties of water you have learned in this learning skill support that process. To do this, you will need to relate to the following questions:Which human physiological process will you focus on?Briefly describe what happens in that process and why it is important for homeostasis.Which chemical properties of water are most relevant to your chosen process?(E.g., polarity, hydrogen bonding, cohesion/adhesion, solvent ability, high specific heat, high heat of vaporization, density changes, pH buffering.)What is special about the shape of the water molecule? How do partial charges or hydrogen bonds contribute to its behavior?How exactly does each property of water support or enable your physiological process?(For example: “Because water has a high heat of vaporization, it removes large amounts of heat when it evaporates from the skin.”)Why is water indispensable in this process? Could any other substance perform this role as effectively? In one or two sentences, summarize why this example shows that water truly is the ‘matrix of life.’
