Answer:

Water has a high Cohesion because of Hydrogen bonding. This is important as transport of water in the Xylem in plants relies on water being pulled up. Cohesion also gives the water a high surface tension, allowing small organisms, such as Pond Skaters, to walk along it.

Explanation:

Water molecules forming hydrogen bonds with one another. The partial negative charge on the O of one molecule can form a hydrogen bond with the partial positive charge on the hydrogens of other molecules. Water molecules are also attracted to other polar molecules and to ions.

Plants obtain the hydrogen they need from water molecules. Don't try to feed your plant hydrogen gas -- your plant wouldn't know what to do with it if you did. As long as they have water, plants can readily obtain all the hydrogen they need. :)

During when we are alive, oxygen is used to make atp, and atp is used to break cross-brdiges when we are relaxing / contracting our muscles. when a person is dead then there is no oxygen but the body can still produce atp via anaerobic glycolysis, when the glycogen is depleted then no atp is produce so the the cross bridges can no logner be broken that is why skeletal muscles lock
