What property of water makes water so helpful in riding the body of wastes?

Biology

Archy [21]3 years ago

Answer:

A) Water is versatile solvent.

Explanation:

Water is a chemical compound consisting of one atom of oxygen (O) bonded chemically to two atoms of hydrogen (H). It is a unique substance due to its properties. Water is a polar molecule i.e. has both positively and negatively charged ends, hence, making one of its properties of being a UNIVERSAL SOLVENT possible.

Water is said to be a universal solvent because it can dissolve more solid substances than any other liquid. This outstanding property of water is key to its function in getting rid of wastes because these wastes readily dissolve in water and are transported or carried to sites of exit from the body. For example, urea is a waste in humans, which gets dissolved in water to form URINE that is excreted.

Answer:

  • Protozoans → would not have survived because they have no way to produce their own food → Heterotrophs
  • Algae → would have survived without this food source → Heterotrophs

Explanation:

The protist kingdom is composed of two main groups.  The principal difference between them is that algae can produce their own food, while protozoans need to ingest other organisms or organic molecules to survive.

  • Algaes are autotroph
  • Protozoans are heterotroph

<u>Protozoans</u>:

Microscopic unicellular organisms, eukaryotic and heterotrophs -predators or detritivores-. Most of them are aquatic free-living organisms, but some species are parasites. They feed on<u> bacteria</u>, other organic wastes, and other microscopic organisms. The phagocytosis process is normally used to ingest the food, invaginating their cell membrane.  

<u>Algae</u>:

Eukaryotic micro- or macroscopic organisms. Autotroph and photosynthetic. They might be either unicellular or pluricellular. They use sunlight to synthesize organic matter from water, CO₂, and mineral salts. Unicellular ones can be free-living or associate with others to form colonies. They are part of the phytoplankton and are ingested by heterotrophic organisms. Pluricellular algae do not create real tissues but they compose a tale. The depth at which they inhabit depends on the pigments they produce. All of them inhabit fresh or sea waters.

Answer:

Active uptake (which I think you mean active transport) is important when the concentration gradient is against that of a certain substance, so it doesn't cross the membrane through diffusion or passive transport. It is sometimes necessary if a substance needs to move across a membrane but can't do so due to electrical charge or that there is a substance on the other side of the membrane preventing diffusion.
