So, your shoes are carrying around a blob of water essentially. Now, the question is, in your cells, do those water molecules actually do something? Are these molecules essentially jobless or do they do something that might be really, really interesting? For that matter are we even really sure that water is H₂O? We read about that in the textbook, but is it possible that ...
