Explain why water is important to our bodies using at least 3 of the properties of water.

What is universal solvency- minerals and vitamins and nutrients dissolve in blood stream, cohesion and adhesion -allow nutrients to move through the blood because they are dissolved they are then carried specific heat capacity- helps to maintain that we don't overheat too quickly by absorbing heat through hydrogen bonds.
