False!
400
Why is it important that water is the universal solvent?
because so many molecules are capable of dissolving in water, it means our cells (cytoplasm) are an ideal place for the necessary chemical reactions in our bodies!

Explain why water's high heat capacity helps maintain/stabilize our bodies internal temperature.
Water's high heat capacity means it takes a lot of energy to heat it up, which means it helps keep our body temperatures at a consistent level
500

Explain water's density as a solid vs as a liquid, and why it helps keep larger bodies of water liquid in the winter.
Ice floats, which allows it to insulate bodies of water during the winter. As water near the ice cools, it sinks and forces warmer water towards the bottom to circulate.
