The importance of water for living organisms

 Water

     Water is the essential element in this life. As it plays an essential role in the various vital processes that occur within the bodies of living organisms, whether they are micro and primary organisms, or vital processes in plants, or even in the human body, and water constitutes three quarters of of the globe, and much of this water is exposed to pollution.

 The importance of water for living organisms

water for amoeba

     The amoeba is one of the simplest animals in the world. It is a single-celled creature, and ninety percent of its body is water. They also live in the soil and can reproduce in the bodies of animals. The movement of the amoeba depends mainly on the presence of water. in the cytoplasm to form the so-called false feet that help it move, and it needs water to carry out the process of adjusting the osmotic balance of its body with the surrounding environment; As it forms a shrinking vacuole in its body into which it deposits excess water than it needs, and then removes it outside the amoebic cell, and the amoeba's food is based primarily on substances dissolved within the water . 

water plant

     When we compare the plant with other living organisms, we find that it needs water more than the animal, because ninety percent of the water that enters the plant through its roots goes to the atmosphere in the form of vapor, and the plant mainly uses water in the environment. food manufacturing process. 

 The plant absorbs water from inside the soil through the small capillaries present in the roots, then the water travels through the stem of the plant and is distributed to the leaves thanks to the capillary property, after which the water is analyzes for its basic base. .  The atoms, oxygen and hydrogen, thanks to chlorophyll, in an important process called "photosynthesis" process, and in this process a union occurs between the hydrogen atoms resulting from the decomposition of water, with the gas dioxide of Carbon, from which leaves are formed.  

that the plant takes by absorbing it from the air, then sugar is synthesized and the manufacture of organic compounds, carbohydrates and fats, in addition to the protein substances that make up plant food, in terms of oxygen atoms resulting from the decomposition of water during the process.  From the process of photosynthesis, they are emitted into the air and renewed.

     water for the human body

     Water constitutes seventy percent of the human body, and the amount of water available is not limited to the liquid substances of the body, such as: blood or lymphatic fluid, but goes beyond and enters all the cells that make up the body.  human; Since the amount of water present ranges between 65% and 90% of the weight of these cells, depending on their type. For example, blood cells contain a large amount of water, while bone-building cells have less water.
