The right answer is aqueous medium (or water solution).

Because of its ubiquity, water has long been considered an inert liquid simply filling the intermolecular spaces in living organisms. It represents about 65% of the mass of living beings. All constituents of the cell "bathe" in an aqueous environment. It is in this environment that the exchanges between the cells take place, that the reactions of the metabolism take place, etc.

Nearly all of the body's chemical reaction, including those that produce energy and build new tissues, take place in the aqueous medium.

Further Explanation:

The collection of all the chemical reactions that help in the maintenance of the living state of cells and the organism is said to be metabolism. The metabolites are the reactants that participate in the metabolism.

There are two basic varieties of metabolic reactions occurring in the cell they are; Catabolism and Anabolism. Anabolism is the process in which the bonds between the molecules are formed. The compounds that are needed by the cells are formed by the process of anabolism. The energy is required during this process. Catabolism on the other hand is the process that helps in generation of energy by the breakage of bonds in the metabolites. This energy is utilized by the cellular components.The formation of dipeptides from the amino acids and formation of disaccharides from sugar moieties are the examples of anabolic reactions. Respiration isthe examples of catabolic reactions.

All the cell organelles that are the site for these metabolic reactions are present in the fluid called cytoplasm. The cytoplasm is the aqueous medium which is majorly composed of water. Water being inert do not interfere in these reactions and therefore, all the body’s chemical reactions take place in the aqueous medium.

Which does body mass index (BMI) measure?

satela [25.4K]

Explanation:

Body Mass Index (BMI) is a person's weight in kilograms divided by the square of height in meters. A high BMI can indicate high body fatness. BMI screens for weight categories that may lead to health problems, but it does not diagnose the body fatness or health of an individual.

The phylogenetically ancient limbic lobe, together with other subcortical structures and their interactions, make up the limbic system. The limbic system is a functional notion that may be used to explain a variety of brain activities, while not having any scientific support.

The limbic system is the area of the brain that controls our behavior and emotions, particularly when it comes to actions we must do to ensure our survival, such as eating, reproducing, and caring for our young, as well as fight-or-flight reactions.

The limbic system's components are hidden deep inside the brain, above the brainstem and below the cerebral cortex.
