Question

property description importance to life heat of vaporization the amount of energy required to change one gram of a liquid substance to a gas. it helps to stabilize drastic shifts in temperature. universal solvent creates surface tension which causes droplets to form instead of water spreading out. water is attracted to other molecules.

Explanation:

1. For "Universal Solvent": Description - It can dissolve many substances. Importance to Life - Facilitates chemical reactions in living organisms by transporting dissolved substances.
2. For the property creating surface - tension: Property - Cohesion. Description - Water - molecules are attracted to each other. Importance to Life - Helps in water - movement in plants (capillary action) and provides a stable environment for some aquatic organisms.
3. For the property of water being attracted to other molecules: Property - Adhesion. Importance to Life - Aids in water - transport in plants along with cohesion, and helps in wetting of surfaces which is important for biological processes.

Answer:

Property	Description	Importance to Life
Cohesion	Water - molecules are attracted to each other	Creates surface tension, helps in water - movement in plants (capillary action), provides stable environment for some aquatic organisms
Adhesion	Water is attracted to other molecules	Aids in water - transport in plants along with cohesion, helps in wetting of surfaces for biological processes
