Model organisms are organisms used for research. They are alive‚ non-human species used for the purpose of studying different human diseases or other related experiments in which human testing would be considered either unsafe or unethical. Scientists study a particular biological phenomenon on a model organism and try to relate their findings to other types of organisms that are more difficult to study. As an example‚ 60% of human disease genes have an equivalent in the fruit fly and nematode worm

ionic‚ polar or covalent will dissolve in it‚ therefore more reactions take place while in solution with water. Often in organisms substances must be in solution and water is the solvent. Plants can only obtain mineral salts in solution and human digestion will only dissolve soluble foods‚ meaning large starch molecules must be broken down into soluble sugars. Also many organisms living in water spend most of their time underwater‚ yet they require oxygen to respire‚ and as water is such a good solvent
