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.

BRAINLIESTTTT ASAP!!!<br><br> What roles do society, politics, and economics play in science?
ser-zykov [4K]
So what roles do society, politics, and economics play in science?Economics determines how much money is available to fund scientific research. Certain federal grants come directly out of the national economy, which determines if certain research projects can continue or are cut off.Politics affect science by passing some bills that directly affects science, congressmen can determine whether those funds from the economy will be used for research or not. Just a side note: wealthy lobbyists control alot of what politicians do, by donating millions into their election campaigns. Society affects science by our citizens democratically electing those politicians that we think will or will not endorse scientific research projects. For example, embryonic stem cell research has been under fire by conservatives for taking future babies' cells to study. Liberals, however, tend to be in favor of change and new advances scientifically
_____________________________________________________________

if you need it shorter "Society, made up of the country's citizens, can influence science by electing politicians (president and congressmen); the politicians can then affect the economic funding of scientific research, either by increasing or decreasing government grants to scientific projects."

The frontal lobe of the brain is _____ for driving a motor vehicle.
ANTONII [103]
The frontal lobe of the brain is not essential for driving a motor vehicle. The only time that the frontal lobe would be activated during driving would be when there is potential danger, for example a car swerving in front of you. The dorsal lateral prefrontal cortex is more essential for driving, as it is involved in judgment and decision making.
