Why do organisms need water ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Organisms need water because it plays a vital role in the metabolic reactions taking place within organisms' body. It acts as a universal solvent, providing a medium for the chemical reactions to occur. Substances are also transported from one part of the body to the other in the dissolved form. Therefore, it is necessary for the organisms to maintain the level of water within their bodies in order to stay alive.
