Water Blog 1

In today's society, water symbolizes an essential component of life in general. Furthermore, it represents the most plentiful compound found out of all organisms. Moreover, water varies from sixty four to eighty nine percent in different organisms. In addition, water is present in most or all the reactions that take place in the cell. Not to mention, land vegetation would be gone; oxygen would also be gone for people to breathe, and the planet would differ in appearance without water. Without a doubt, people need water in order to survive or prosper and water is needed to keep the environment healthy. In conclusion, water needs to treated as a valuable natural resource that shouldn't be used in a wasteful way. 

In my opinion, water represents resource that could be replenished because the cycle of water cycle could be carried over and over again such as the rain cycle. On the other hand, there is evidence that water could indeed one day become a resource that could not replenished due to the severe drought that is happening in the state of California. In summary, the expansion of our population at a quick rate puts some sort of pressure on all of the natural resources in the world.


Not to mention, water contains numerous different characteristics that enable life to continue or exist. Some of these characteristics include the water's density, cohesion, high specific heat, and polarity. When water is in its solid state, it is more dense and is capable of floating over water. When large amounts of water turns into a solid state, the ice still remains above the water, which allows many different types of organisms to stay alive rather than freezing to death. Due to water's cohesion, it enables water to move up from the roots to the top of the plant because cohesion symbolizes the water molecules' attraction to each other in terms of polarity. Due to water's high specific heat, lakes, oceans, and other large bodies of water enable life to continue because it allows earth's temperature to remain relatively constant or fixed. Not to mention, water's polarity enables itself to dissolve many different types of substances in which reactions sometimes occur.
