Cells need water to dissolve many of the chemical components of the cell. They need to have a precise range of concentration in order to function properly. They also need water in chemical reactions called hydrolysis reactions. In these reactions, chemical compounds are broken down by the addition of water.
What else can I help you with?
Needed by all plants to carry nutrients to cells and wastes away from cells?
Water is needed by all plants to carry nutrients from the soil to the cells and transport waste products away from the cells through a process called transpiration. Water also helps plants maintain their structure and turgidity.
What is water needed for in your bodies?
Water is mainly needed for your cells and cells need water because: - (Intake of) water maintains the osmotic pressure inside a cell. - Water is used to dissolve most chemicals the cell needs to function (no fatty acids) - Water is used in transportation of food and waste.
Are carbohydrates needed to make new body cells?
Yes. But protein and water is more necessary.
Which tissue in the leaf supplies water to the cells for photosynthesis?
The xylem tissue in the leaf supplies water to the cells for photosynthesis. Xylem is responsible for transporting water and nutrients from the roots to the rest of the plant, including the leaf cells. This water is needed for photosynthesis to occur, as it is a key component in the process.
Describe one way the human body uses water as a solvent?
Water as a solvent is used in the stomach to aid digestion of food. It dilutes the hydrochloric acid secreted in the stomach in the normal digestion process. Too much acid and one suffers from acidosis/heartburn/reflux. Water as a dilutant limits this discomfort.
Why are prokaryotic cells needed?
because they have multiple cells
Why is water an important component in the cytoplasm?
water is essential in order to preform the process needed to turn nutrients into energy the cells can use.
Why are solar cells needed on the calculator?
They aren't needed, most calculators use batteries not solar cells.
What are chemical substances needed by body cells that result from the process of digestion?
Nutrients are needed by body cells.
Only cells can produce other cells?
Stem cells. that is why they are needed for research
A mineral needed by bone cells?
A mineral needed by bone cells is called calcium. It is essential for structure, strength, and growth of the bones and bone cells.
Chemical substances needed by body cells that result from the process of digestion are called what?
Nutrients are needed by body cells.
