Answer:
<em>The correct option is C. Water is an excellent solvent.</em>
Explanation:
Plasma can be described as blood which is made up of 92% water. The basic role that water plays in the plasma is of a solvent. It readily dissolves substances in it and transports them. Hence. option C is correct.
Option A cannot e considered because moderation of temperature won't fulfil the task of the blood i.e transportation.
Option B cannot be considered because expansion or compression of water are not such factors which help in blood transportation.
Respiration is an exergonic reaction. An exergonic reaction is one in
which energy is released, and as a result the products of this reaction
will have less energy than the original products. Cellular respiration
can also be referred to as a catabolic pathway, which means bigger
molecules get broken down into smaller molecules and therefore there is
extra energy at the end of the reaction.
