The correct answer is water.

Nutrients are minerals, vitamins, proteins, carbohydrates, water, and fats. These six essential nutrients are important for each and every individual for energy, growth, and for repair and maintenance of the cells. Consuming a well-balanced diet with a broad variety of foods offers one the right amount of all the nutrients.

Water is the nutrient that forms about 60 percent of the weight of the body. It is essential for each cell in each of the tissue in the body. Water mediates other nutrients to each part of the body, it transports waste out of the body and it assists in monitoring the temperature of the body.

Explain how a mutation in a bacterial cell could help it become resistant to infection by a bacteriophage
zhenek [66]

Bacteria have different phage resistance mechanisms, such as spontaneous mutations, the CRISPR-Cas system.

Spontaneous mutations are the main mechanisms leading to phage resistance by altering the structure of bacterial wall components that act as phage receptors. These include lipopolysaccharides (LPS), outer membrane proteins, cell wall teichoic acids, capsules, and other bacterial components.
