Water Anomalies: Exploring Molecular Properties and Biological Role

This report examines the unique properties of water, focusing on its molecular structure and its role as a universal solvent. The molecular structure of water, comprising one oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms, results in a polar molecule with positively and negatively charged regions. This polarity enables water to dissolve a wide range of substances, including biomolecules like proteins and carbohydrates, which is essential for the formation of biological cells and the support of life. The report emphasizes the ability of water to dissolve minerals and nutrients, making it a vital component of human physiology, where it constitutes approximately 70% of the body. The report references the idea that the design of earth and life is a very precise and accurate way so that life can sustain easily. The unique molecular structure of the water and resultant anomalies works like a supernatural existence.

1ANOMALIES OF WATER
Water has multiple unique properties and one of the most astonishing propriety is that water
is a universal solvent. It implies that water is capable of dissolving a wide range of
substances. The molecule of water is made of one oxygen atom which is connected two
hydrogen atom where a molecular level electrical polarization is present. Hydrogen of one
side of oxygen is positively charged and hydrogen of other side is negatively charged
(Zargar, Asghari & Dashti, 2015). This polarisation has enough ability to loosen the bond of
other polarised atomic bonds in solute’s molecule fore dissolving it.
As a solvent water can dissolve most of the bio-molecules such as proteins, carbohydrates
and nucleic acids which helped to occur chemical reactions that formed biological sells or the
first life on planet earth (Tolonen et al., 2015). Apart from that, the ability of dissolving
minerals and nutrition helps human body to sustain by using water as a carrier of different
important substance of human body and that is why human body’s 70% is made by water.
The idea of God’s design of earth and life refers to a belief that states God made this earth is
a very precise and accurate way so that life can sustain easily. The underlying driver behind
this idea is that sustaining life in a planet is so complicated and systematic that only a super
power or existence can make. The unique molecular structure of the water and resultant
anomalies works like a supernatural existence.
