Hey. Nothing is made of water, but every living thing depends on water for growth and maintenance- water is the base where chemical reactions take place so if there was no water, there would be no life.

Uh... no living thing is made entirely of water.
But you probably are just asking if every living thing contains water.
Most do, but I would expect that very small creatures, bacteria and smaller, would not, or not contain much because the molecules would take up much of their mass, and they tend to live in water anyway.
Water is helpful as an ingredient in the make up of larger creatures because it carries things like salt, nutrients, temperature, and electricity very well.

Yep. The jellyfish , for example, is 90% water...so it's technically classified as a drink. A McDonald milkshake is 47% water and that classifies it as an animal.

even the tiniest organisms contains water. for example - bacteria Cyanobacteria, Cyanophyta or Schizophyta must have water because they need it for photosyntesis (water degradation is the source of the H+ ions needed for NADH and so on..).
dont forget that even if there is a small volume of water (in bacteria, virus - all protozoa actually) it's the large percentage of the whall mass of the organism.

every body in our cell has water but it needs just the right amount of water to survive

What? No, nothing living is made of water. Water is a molecule made of atoms. Living organisms have water molecules, lipids, proteins, carbohydrates, amino acids, nucleic acids, various ions, and other substances.

On the question:
What inhale the Life in formulas and equations ?
What must be present in a body to make it alive ?
The answer is:
Soul. Quantum of Light.
Because, from all particles, only and only the quantum of light is a privileged particle.

Of course yes , if not we can find another life on the other planet , they are not survive because they have not water if they have it look like ice.
