The cell's cytoplasm is a jell like area inside a cell...and it's mostly water. Without cytoplasm, cells would be more "slushy" I suppose. You need more water than food, at least 8 ounces a day to give all cells the right nutrients. The body is made up of over 70% water for a reason.

Why do all Organisms need water?

Organisms need water because the chemical reactions that maintain life occur on the inside of cells which contain cytoplasm, a water-based solution. If organisms did not have water, the chemical reactions in the cell could not take place, and life functions would cease.


Why is osmosis important in human physi?

Osmosis is important in human physiology because it helps regulate the balance of water and electrolytes in the body. It allows for the movement of water across cell membranes to maintain proper hydration levels and ensure essential nutrients are delivered to cells while waste products are removed. Osmosis is essential for maintaining the functioning of cells, tissues, and organs in the human body.


What do somatic cells include?

Somatic cells, also known as body cells, include all cells in the body except for reproductive cells (sperm and egg cells). They make up tissues and organs and carry out specific functions in the body, such as providing structure and support, carrying out metabolic processes, and transmitting signals. Somatic cells are diploid, containing a full set of chromosomes (46 in humans).


Which cellular compartment contains the greatest amount of body fluid?

The intracellular compartment, which includes the cytoplasm and organelles within cells, contains the greatest amount of body fluid. This fluid is known as intracellular fluid or cytosol, and makes up about two-thirds of the total body water.


What are body cells called?

there are many different cells in the human body, but they are all eukaryotic cells (which is one of the two types of cells)

What do cells in the body not need to do?

Cells in the body do not need to carry out every function independently. They depend on other cells and systems to support their activities. Additionally, not all cells in the body need to divide constantly, with some cells being quiescent or terminally differentiated.


What nutrient is used by all cells in the body?

Why do people need water to survive?

== == Its because we are made up mostly of water. If you dont give the body water, the blood cells cannot deliver it to all the cells of the body that rely on it to stay alive. If they dont get water, the individual cells die of dehydration. If this happens in large quantities, the host (body) dies of dehydration as well. The same is true of oxygen and food.

Do all cells need nucleolus?

Not all cells need a nucleolus. For example, bacterial cells do not have a nucleolus. A nucleolus is a dense body within the nucleus which is where ribosomes are formed. As viral cells do not create ribosomes, they do not need a nucleolus either...
