Living things need water in their cells. Water is the universal solvent - most of the chemicals a cell needs is dissolved and transported in water. Water is an environment where chemical reactions can occur and water is needed in many of those reactions - like the hydrolysis reaction (needed in the break down of food molecules). If a cell becomes dehydrated chemical reactions slow down. Chemical balance of the cell is changed as waste materials are not removed fast enough, food is not broken down, etc. Water also helps regulate the heat that can build up in a cell during chemical reactions. A dehydrated cell = increase in cell temp. Water content of a cell also affects the pH of a cell environment. Certain reactions occur better at certain pH. Homeostasis is maintaining a balance with the  the environment. Without water the balance is upset.

Ummmm well, it helps keep it at a normal temperature and homeostasis means that the thing is keeping a stable condition of temperature.

goblinko [34]

Answer:

The correct answer is C:

As individuals grow older, their dependability score increases over time.

Explanation:

Studies have shown that there is a strong correlation between aging and dependability.

Dependability here refers to the extent to which one relies on others in other to continue to carry out rudimentary mammalian functions.

Examples of such functions are:

  • Walking
  • Getting groceries
  • Doing Chores
  • and other physically exerting activities.

This is not to say that there are no aging adults who go into the geriatric space with their mental strength and reasonable physical strength intact. The above happens because they have good genes and disciplined themselves to maintain a healthy lifestyle of good diets as well as mental and physical excercise.

Cheers
