Question

aquatic life carries out activities at the bottom of lakes to ensure survival during the winter. cells transport and use dissolved chemicals, minerals, and nutrients, to support life processes. plants transport water through root systems. temperature regulation through panting or perspiring. water is cohesive and adhesive. water is a solvent. water has a high specific heat. water has a lower density as a solid than as a liquid

Explanation:

1. Aquatic life surviving at lake - bottoms in winter is due to water having a lower density as a solid than as a liquid. Ice floats, allowing life to exist below.
2. Cells transporting and using dissolved substances is because water is a solvent. It can dissolve many chemicals, minerals, and nutrients.
3. Plants transporting water through root systems is due to water being cohesive and adhesive. Cohesion allows water molecules to stick together, and adhesion allows them to stick to the walls of xylem vessels.
4. Temperature regulation through panting or perspiring is because water has a high specific heat. It can absorb a large amount of heat without a large change in temperature.

Answer:

• Aquatic life carries out activities at the bottom of lakes to ensure survival during the winter: Water has a lower density as a solid than as a liquid.
• Cells transport and use dissolved chemicals, minerals, and nutrients, to support life processes: Water is a solvent.
• Plants transport water through root systems: Water is cohesive and adhesive.
• Temperature regulation through panting or perspiring: Water has a high specific heat.
