		This water acts as a medium for light passage in the case of the eyes, and as a source of lubrication and shock absorption in the joints and CSF.
		Water that is taken in as part of food is called "performance water." Many sled dogs get half or more of their daily water intake from preformed water.
		Water produced in the body by these processes is referred as "metabolic water." Metabolic water may contribute as much as 10% of the total water gained by a dog each day.

	Dummies::Moving Fluids and Minerals through Plants
		The vascular tissues of a plant are the xylem, which transports water and minerals up from the roots to the leaves, and phloem, which transports sugar molecules, amino acids, and hormones both up and down through the plant.
		There are several different "modes of transportation" through the xylem and phloem; their main function is to keep all cells of the plant hydrated and nourished.
		Water moves from the area of higher concentration to lower concentration — the movement of water follows the movement of solutes.

	Soil Plant Water Relationships
		Water transports minerals through the soil to the roots where they are absorbed by the plant.
		There is a constant movement of water from the soil to the roots, from the roots into the various parts of the plant, then into the leaves where it is released into the atmosphere as water vapor through the stomata (small openings in the leaf surfaces).
		Soil water potential, which is defined as the energy required to remove water from the soil, does not directly give the amount of water present in the root zone either.

	AGU Web Site: Water Vapor in the Climate System. A Special Report.
		Water vapor is water in the gaseous phase.
		Water vapor is constantly cycling through the atmosphere, evaporating from the surface, condensing to form clouds blown by the winds, and subsequently returning to the Earth as precipitation.
		As is shown in Figure 3, almost all water vapor in the atmosphere originates at the surface of the Earth, where water evaporates from the ocean and the continents owing to the Sun's radiation, and is transpired by plants and respired by animals into the atmosphere.

	Biol 1408.04 Lecture Outline - Chapter 10 Plants
		As water evaporates, it creates a pull, or tension, that draws the column of water up the vessel elements from the roots to the leaves.
		Therefore, replacement of evaporated water molecules exerts a driving force, a negative pressure or tension, that draws the column of water up the vessel elements from the roots to the leaves.
		The pressure is due to water buildup caused by sugar formed by photosynthesis in the leaves; this starts the flow of sap.

		Water vapor from water and land surfaces and from living cells circulates through the atmosphere and falls as rain or snow.
		Some water percolates downward, accumulating in the so-called zone of saturation to form the groundwater reservoir, the upper surface of which is the water table.
