Aerobic Respiration

Water molecules are found everywhere. They can be found in a faucet, shower, toilet, lake, freezer and inside your body. Water molecules are composed of two hydrogen molecules and one oxygen molecule. The hydrogen molecules are positive and the oxygen molecule is negative. They are connected through covalent bonds. Due to the positive and negative orientations of the molecules, it makes water polar. In addition, hydrogen bonds form due to this polarity. There are three properties of hydrogen bonds: temporary, variable and weak. Due to these properties, water has a high specific heat, it is a great solvent, cohesive and adhesive, and has surface tension. These characteristics of water are the reason why we find water in its many forms today. Without water, life as we know it, just wouldn’t be the same.
