The Relevance of Water to Humans and Plants
What is water?
Water
is one of the most essential gifts given to humans and plant on earth.
According to research it states that water, a substance
composed of the chemical elements' hydrogen and oxygen and existing in
gaseous, liquid, and solid states. It is one of the most plentiful and
essential of compounds. A tasteless and odourless liquid at room temperature, it has the important ability to
dissolve many other substances (Agustyn,
2023).
The Essential use of water to the human body
Here are three (3) Ways of how water works in the human body:
Ø Protects body tissues and organs.
Ø Lubricate joints.
Ø Reduces burden on the kidneys and liver by flushing out
waste products.
How much water do we really need?
According to research it states
that, every day, you lose eight to 12 cups of water through breathing,
perspiring, and urine and bowel movements. In general, men need at least 12
cups of fluid daily, while women require a minimum of nine cups.
Adequate hydration varies from
person to person. A practical way to monitor hydration is by observing the color
of your urine right after you get up in the morning. Straw- or lemonade-colored
urine is a sign of appropriate hydration. Dark-colored urine — about the color
of apple juice — indicates dehydration.
That's why it's important
to replenish your body's
water supply with beverages and food that contain water.
What is the Importance of Water to Plants?
Ø
Water
helps in the germination of seeds.
Ø Water
helps in the process of photosynthesis by which plants prepare their food.
Ø During
metabolic reactions, the inner temperature of the plant rises. Water stream
flowing throughout the plant body acts as a coolant and maintains the
temperature.
Ø Adequate
amount of water is necessary in cells and tissues to maintain the turgidity of
the plant body.
