Answer:
The given statement is True.
A human body is composed of around 60 percent of water, the average range is around 50-65 percent.
Water is a vital nutrient for any living organism including human beings.
Being a universal solvent, it primarily helps in metabolism and transportation of proteins and carbohydrates in our body.
It helps in maintaining the internal body temperature through respiration and sweating.
It helps in excretion of waste material through urination.
It lubricates joints and acts as shock absorbent for the fetus, spinal cord, and brain.
<span>Base on the data in the graph, the event that would most likely happen if the paramecium were placed in distilled water is that "The contractions would increase." This is the result of a hypertonic solution. </span>The net movement of water in an aqueous solution is form the higher
water concentration to a lower water concentration. A
hypertonic solution has higher solute in the cell than the outside. The
movement is from the cell to the outside and so the cell will shrink.
Mitosis
Involves one cell division?
Results in two daughter cells
Results in diploid? daughter cells? (chromosome? number remains the same as parent cell)
Daughter cells are genetically identical
Occurs in all organisms except viruses
Creates all body cells (somatic?) apart from the germ cells? (eggs and sperm)
Prophase is much shorter
No recombination/crossing over occurs in prophase.
In metaphase individual chromosomes (pairs of chromatids) line up along the equator.
During anaphase the sister chromatids are separated to opposite poles.
Meiosis
Involves two successive cell divisions
Results in four daughter cells
Results in haploid? daughter cells (chromosome number is halved from the parent cell)
Daughter cells are genetically different
Occurs only in animals, plants and fungi
Creates germ cells (eggs and sperm) only
Prophase I takes much longer
Involves recombination/crossing over of chromosomes in prophase I
In metaphase I pairs of chromosomes line up along the equator.
During anaphase I the sister chromatids move together to the same pole.
During anaphase II the sister chromatids are separated to opposite poles.
Similarities
Mitosis
Diploid parent cell
Consists of interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase
In metaphase individual chromosomes (pairs of chromatids) line up along the equator.
During anaphase the sister chromatids are separated to opposite poles.
Ends with cytokinesis.
Meiosis
Diploid parent cell
Consists of interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase (but twice!)
In metaphase II individual chromosomes (pairs of chromatids) line up along the equator.
During anaphase II the sister chromatids are separated to opposite poles.
Ends with cytokinesis.

Dendrite, axon, and cell body are the major parts of neurons. </span>
The overproduction of offspring leads to competition in which only the better adapted organisms survive and reproduce.
