Question

how living systems Explain how living systems depend on properties of water that result from its polarity and hydrogen bonding.

Answer 1

Answer:  The correct answer is :  Living systems depend on the polarity of water, because since water is polar it has an unevenly distributed charge, this means that water molecules are slightly positive and negative, for this reason water is a good solvent, this characteristic is essential in organisms. For example, sugars and other nutrients are dissolved so that the blood cells can carry it to cells in the body. If sugars weren't dissolved, they couldn't reach cells. Water also attracts or is attracted to other molecules and polar ions, including many biomolecules, such as sugars, nucleic acids and some amino acids.
