Porcupines
Porcupines are large, spine covered rodents that like a diet high in salt. Those in the Americas sometimes choose to live in trees, even though their distant relatives in Africa, Europe, and Asia prefer more grounded lifestyles. In the Order: rodent and Class: Rodentia, they need to gnaw constantly. Typical questions relate to the porcupine's uses of its quills, survival threats, preferred foods, interactions with people and wildlife, geographic ranges, and defensive behaviors.

A:In animals, water is the solvent that fills the cells, as well as the solvent in the blood.Within the cells, it provides structure to the cells, and a transport mechanism for molecules and nutrients around the cells.
Between the cells and in the blood, it also provides a transport mechanism for nutrients, cellular waste, and various other needs of the body, including the movement of whole cells.
On mucous membranes, it provides a barrier to prevent the cells from drying out, and a significant amount is lost providing this function, especially in the lungs.
It is also a solvent for the excretion of nitrogen and water soluble salts in the kidneys (Urine).
Water is a vital part of digestion, and provides a medium for food to be broken down in the digestive tract, as well as being transported along the digestive tract. Much of it is reabsorbed in the large intestine, although some will remain in the stools.
I believe that water is consumed in some metabolic stages, but there is a net production of water by the bodies metabolism through the conversion of hydrocarbons into carbon dioxide and water.
