What are 3 unique properties (characteristics) of water that make life possible on earth?

Question

For each property explain it in terms of the physical and chemical nature of water and describe one example of how the property effects the functioning of living organisms.

Answer 1

Water and life are closely linked. This has been recognized throughout history by civilizations and religions and is still the case with scientists today. Liquid water is required for life to start and for life to continue. No enzymes work in the absence of water molecules. No other liquid can replace water. We are very fortunate, therefore, that our planet is so well endowed. Water is a common material in the Universe, being found as widely dispersed gaseous molecules and as amorphous ice in tiny grains and much larger asteroids, comets and planets, but water needs particularly precise conditions to exist as a liquid as it does on Earth. It is most likely that this water arrived from multiple sources, such as comets and asteroids, somewhat after solid planet Earth was formed. The development of life required this water. How exactly this was achieved, is a question that has interested many since well before the early experiments producing amino acids from simpler molecules by electric discharge in aqueous systems. More recently, various theories have been propounded but without a consensus except for the key involvement of liquid water.

Water possesses particular properties that cannot be found in other materials and that are required for life-giving processes. These properties are brought about by the hydrogen-bonded environment particularly evident in liquid water. Hydrogen bonds are roughly tetrahedrally and arranged such that when strongly formed the local clustering expands, decreasing the density. Such low density structuring naturally occurs at low and supercooled temperatures and gives rise to many physical and chemical properties that evidence the particular uniqueness of liquid water. If aqueous hydrogen bonds were actually somewhat stronger, then water would behave similar to a glass, whereas if they were weaker then water would be a gas and only exist as a liquid at sub-zero temperatures.

Answer 4

Why not 2 properties? Or better yet 5?

Or maybe you should do your own goddammed homework.
