Answer:
Water is the universal solvent in biological systems. - TRUE
Water bathes organs in fluid, which provides protection and support. - FALSE
The high specific heat of water means that we only lose a small amount of heat when the sweat on our skin evaporates. - FALSE
Water plays a major role in our bodies’ chemical reactions. - TRUE
Explanation:
Water dissolves polar molecules hence critical solvent for energy molecules such as glucose and electrolytes such as sodium. Water also acts as a metabolite in reactions such as photolysis in photosynthesis and also in hydrolysis reactions. Water is a temperature buffer due to its high heat capacity (meaning it takes more energy to raise the temperature of water by one degree). This means it is good for the regulation of temperatures in the body.
Atomic number of an atom equals to the number of nucleus in the nucleus of the atom. Therefore, the answer is 74.
The proton of an element is never changed. No matter if it's an atom or ion. It's like an ID number for an element. It defines the type of element. Don't mix up atomic number with mass number though, mass number is the total sum of of the number of protons and neutrons in an atom.
Theres one more subatomic particle in an atom, that is electrons. But since they're too light, they won't be counted in mass. Also, the number of electrons in an atom equals to the number of proton, also the atomic number. If the number of electrons is different, it's no longer an atom, but an ion.
