What are the functions of water in a cell?

Water is a substance that occupies approximately 70% of the composition of a cell in a living organism. Water is an excellent solvent. Therefore, it is from water that the cytoplasm of cells consists, it is part of organelles and membranes. Water has the property of a solvent due to the dipole moment of the molecules. Also, water has good thermal conductivity, which is important for the life of many organisms. When scientists explore new planets and satellites, they primarily look for water and carbon. These substances are key to the origin of life.
