1.WATER helps to hydrate the bodyOur cells are composed of roughly 75% water
1.WATER helps to hydrate the bodyOur cells are composed of roughly 75% water
Our blood is composed of roughly 90% water
2.WATER is a buffer that regulates body temp
(Through sweating and vasoconstriction)
3.WATER provides a soluble environment for chemical reactions
3.WATER provides a soluble environment for chemical reactions
Water is polar and can dissolve many other polar substances
3.WATER provides a soluble environment for chemical reactions
Water is polar and can dissolve many other polar substances
This makes a cell a prime environment for dissolving salts and sugars
4.WATER helps maintain cell turgidity
