All known forms of life depend on water. Water is vital both as a solvent and as an essential part of many metabolic processes within the body.
Metabolism is the sum total of anabolism and catabolism. In anabolism, water is removed from molecules (through energy requiring enzymatic chemical reactions) in order to grow larger molecules (e.g., starches, triglycerides, and proteins for storage of fuels and information). In catabolism, water is used to break bonds in order to generate smaller molecules (e.g., glucose, fatty acids, and amino acids to be used for fuels for energy use
or other purposes).
Without water, these particular metabolic processes could not exist. 💪🏼🤸🏼♂️🏋🏼🏌🏼🏂
