Question
when viewed from space, earth looks like a blue planet. this is because water covers nearly three - quarters of earths surface!
water makes life on earth possible. every living organism, from bacteria to humans, needs water to survive. waters chemical structure results in properties that are critical to maintaining lifes processes. for example, water is an excellent solvent capable of dissolving many different substances. as water travels through an organism, it carries minerals and nutrients needed for the organism to survive.
select the true statements.
waters chemical structure impacts its properties.
about three - quarters of earth is covered in land.
every living organism needs water to survive.
water is found mostly in solid form on earths surface.
- The text states "Water's chemical structure results in properties that are critical to maintaining life's processes", which means water's chemical structure impacts its properties.
- It says "water covers nearly three - quarters of Earth's surface", not land. So the statement "About three - quarters of Earth is covered in land" is false.
- "Every living organism, from bacteria to humans, needs water to survive" is directly from the text.
- The text does not mention that water is mostly in solid form on Earth's surface. In fact, most water on Earth's surface is in liquid form (oceans, lakes, etc.).
