Properties Of Water: How water sustains living things

The video discusses the crucial role of water in both plants and humans. In plants, water regulates temperature, transports nutrients, and is essential for photosynthesis. It moves through the plant via osmosis and capillary action, and exits through stomata in a process called transpiration. In humans, water is vital for regulating body temperature, transporting nutrients, and removing waste. It constitutes a significant portion of our bodies, and daily intake is necessary to replace lost water and electrolytes.
