living systems depend on water and its polarity as well as hydrogen bonds
hydrogen bonds result in the cohesion: ability for water molecules to stick together through hydrogen bonds, adhesion: ability for polar part of water to stick to other polar surfaces and surface tension: water's attraction to each other in bonds rather than air so have tension on surface
cohesion of water is the Attraction between molecules of the same substance.
Hydrogen bonds between the oxygen of one water molecule and a hydrogen of another water molecule.
Adhesion of water is the property of water to attract with other substance.
The cell would have cell to cell recognition problems. It would not interact with the other cells properly and would eventually be destroyed by the immune system.
