DiscussionWater is essential to life. Briefly discuss three (3) properties of water then explain what is meant by the structure of water accounting for each of its properties. Next choose one (1) of the properties of water below and explain two (2) ways the property can be useful for living systems.

• Cohesion 
• Adhesion 
• High Specific Heat 
• Floating Ice 
• Good Solvent Properties 
• Dissociation of water molecules

3 properties of water:

-Specific Heat: water, even small amounts hold a fair amount of heat energy without undergoing a large change in temperature.

- Cohesion: The sticking together of similar molecules.

-Adhesion: The sticking of one substance to another.

Cohesion -  the sticking together of similar molecules. Water is very cohesive. Which allows water to be pulled along a pathway with relative ease.
