Question

• A. Metabolic processes
• B. Provide energy
• C. Prevents dehydration
• D. More than one correct answer

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

Water is the medium for various enzymatic & chemical reactions or metabolic processes in the body. It moves nutrients, hormones, antibodies and oxygen through the blood stream and lymphatic system. The proteins and enzymes in our body function more efficiently in solutions of low viscosity. since, water is the medium of transport in the body, it is also lost during removal of wastes outside the body through urine and sweat. This may result in dehydration. Therefore a continuous intake of water is necessary to prevent dehydration.

Hence the correct answer is (D)
