Water is the most abundant molecule found in living organisms. Most mammals, in fact, are approximately 70% water by weight. Abo

ut two-thirds of this water is present inside cells. The other one-third is present outside cells (e.g., in blood plasma or other body fluids). Why is water so important to cells?

Answer:

Water is an essential constituent of the protoplasm of living cells because it is directly involved in countless biochemical reactions like photosynthesis and respiration. Without it cells couldn't move waste and by-products, take in nutrients, perform intracelluar transportation, functioning and signalling

Explanation:

Pericardial sac or pericardium is a fibrous tissue that surrounds the heart. It has two coats:

  1. the outter coat-parietal pericardium
  2. the inner coat-visceral pericardium or epicardium which is double-layered and contains pericardial fluid between those two layers (pericardial fluid is necessary as a lubricant for the heart movement).

Besides lubrication, percardium also protects heart from infections, fixes it and limits its movements.

Oksana_A [137]

Now it is clear that genes are what carry our traits through generations and that genes are made of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). But genes themselves don't do the actual work. Rather, they serve as instruction books for making functional molecules such as ribonucleic acid (RNA) and proteins, which perform the chemical reactions in our bodies.Proteins do many other things, too. They provide the body's main building materials, forming the cell's architecture and structural components. But one thing proteins can't do is make copies of themselves. When a cell needs more proteins, it uses the manufacturing instructions coded in DNA.The DNA code of a gene—the sequence of its individual DNA building blocks, labeled A (adenine), T (thymine), C (cytosine) and G (guanine) and collectively called nucleotides— spells out the exact order of a protein's building blocks, amino acids.

Occasionally, there is a kind of typographical error in a gene's DNA sequence. This mistake— which can be a change, gap or duplication—is called a mutation.
