Water covers 71% of the Earth's surface, a cell of Escherichia coli contains 70% of water, a human body 60–70%, plant body up to 90% and the body of an adult jellyfish is made up of 94–98% water. Water has many distinct properties that are critical for the sustenance of life, that set it apart from other substances. All nutrients are carried in a water medium. Metabolic wastes are also removed and excreted through water.
