Detailed explanation-1: -Water-based solutions like blood help carry molecules to the necessary locations. Thus, water’s role as a solvent facilitates the transport of molecules like oxygen for respiration and has a major impact on the ability of drugs to reach their targets in the body.
Detailed explanation-2: -Water As a Transportation Vehicle The solvent action of water allows for substances to be more readily transported. A pile of undissolved salt would be difficult to move throughout tissues, as would a bubble of gas or a glob of fat. Water moves nutrients and transports waste for excretion in the urine, feces or breath.
Detailed explanation-3: -The excellent ability of water to dissolve so many substances allows our cells to use valuable nutrients, minerals, and chemicals in biological processes. Water’s “stickiness” (from surface tension) plays a part in our body’s ability to transport these materials all through ourselves.
