Content Category 5A: Unique nature of water and its solutionsIn order to fully understand the complex and dynamic nature of living systems, it is first necessary to understand the unique nature of water and its solutions. The unique properties of water allow it to strongly interact with and mobilize many types of solutes, including ions. Water is also unique in its ability to absorb energy and buffer living systems from the chemical changes necessary to sustain life.
The content in this category covers the nature of solutions, solubility, acids, bases, and buffers.
