2 answers:
The combination of chemical reactions through which organisms build up or break down materials as it carries out its life processes is called metabolism
<h3><em>Further explanation</em></h3>
In the body of a living creature, a chemical reaction called metabolism
This reaction can be divided into formation reactions and reaction changes/decomposition
Composition reactions are known as anabolic reactions such as body cell reactions in forming fat, protein or reactions in plant cells in forming organic substances through photosynthesis
While the decomposition reaction is catabolic. Like the decomposition of sugar by body cells into carbon dioxide gas, water, and energy. This process is better known as the process of respiration, where the energy obtained is used for the activities of living things
Respiration requires oxygen obtained during breathing and produces carbon dioxide as a residual result of respiration
The metabolic process produces residual substances that can poison the body if not removed. So that there is an excretion process that is the process of removing residual substances.

Answer:
99.3%
Explanation:
The percent by mass of the solute can be expressed as:
- % mass =
* 100%
And for this problem:
- Mass of Solute = Mass of sodium lithium chloride = 29 g
- Mass of Solvent = Mass of Water
So to calculate the percent by mass first we need to <u>calculate the mass of water</u>, to do so we use its<em> density</em> (1 g/L):
- 202 mL is equal to (202/1000) 0.202 L.
Density water = mass water / volume
- 1 g/L = mass water / 0.202 L
- Mass water = 0.202 g
Now we have all the data required to <u>calculate the % mass:</u>
- % mass =
* 100 % = 99.3%
