Water (H₂O) is a polar molecule essential for biochemical reactions, making up over 70% of most organisms and serving as an excellent solvent. Its unique properties, including high heat capacity, cohesive and adhesive abilities, and less density as a solid, play crucial roles in supporting life. The document also discusses the distribution of water and electrolytes in the body, the importance of pH and buffers, and the mechanisms by which buffers resist pH changes.
