Detailed explanation-1: -Water is the natural medium for all biochemical reactions and is often claimed as an ideal green solvent [1, 2] because it is non-toxic and non-flammable, has a high heat capacity in adsorbing the energy produced during a chemical reaction, and has low cost and large availability.
Detailed explanation-2: -Chemical Reactions of Water Water is directly involved in many chemical reactions to build and break down important components of the cell. Photosynthesis, the process in plants that creates sugars for all life forms, requires water. Water also participates in building larger molecules in cells.
Detailed explanation-3: -Cytoplasm is the gelatinous liquid that fills the inside of a cell. It is composed of water, salts, and various organic molecules.
Detailed explanation-4: -Photosynthesis is a biochemical reaction in which water participates to form glucose (food) in plants.
