All living things need to transport molecules from one place to another within the body in order to carry out necessary life
functions. Water makes up approximately 60% of the human body. Which property of water best describes how it is able to transport these molecules from place to place and play such a vital role in life's functions?
A. The cohesive behavior of water molecules makes it
easy to transport throughout the body.
B. Water molecules are polar and have the ability to
dissolve many organic compounds necessary for life.
C. Water has a high specific heat which allows it to melt
many of the substances that are necessary for life.
D. The strong hydrogen bonds among the water
molecules prevent the molecules from being broken
apart as they are transported throughout the body.
