WATER AND SOLUTIONS

Let’s talk about my favorite beverage: water.

Water is biologically omnipresent in your blood, tissues, organs, and cells.

A biomolecule’s shape and function are heavily informed by its interactions with water - its solubility, its tendency to donate or accept protons (experimentally determined using titration), and how it interacts with other ions in the body.

Considering its biological importance, make sure to drink some water before moving on.
