Question 3 • *STPSB_Environmental Science 2627

Which best explains why blood and the cytoplasm of cells are mainly composed of liquid water?

Answer
A
Water is a common substance and is readily available.
B
Water is an important transport and reaction medium.
C
Water prevents biological reactions from occurring readily.
D
Water prevents turgor pressure from making the cells too rigid.

Explanation

Blood and cytoplasm are mostly water because water dissolves many substances and provides a medium in which materials can move and chemical reactions can take place. This makes “Water is an important transport and reaction medium” the best explanation. Water does not prevent biological reactions; it helps support them.
