Document Summary
Water lecture: water has two major functions, metabolism solvent, transport medium, dilutent, substrate, product. As a solvent: kidney products such as na and urea are both water soluble, most nutrients the body needs are water soluble except for lipids, most to(cid:454)i(cid:374)s are (cid:449)ater solu(cid:271)le, the fe(cid:449) that are(cid:374)"t are fat soluble. As transport: digesta, blood, cells, interstitial fluids, secretions, excretion (urine, sweat) As a dilutent: allows things to not be as concentrated, concentration of sodium in sea water is 0. 9% which is about the same in humans. Chemical reactions: hydrolysis substrate is water in the reaction, oxidation product is water and energy in the reaction burning products. Starch 0. 56 grams of water per gram of nutrient. Metabolic water the water that is produced by normal oxidation reactions in the body or breakdown of body tissues: this water is never able to equal the water need of an animal.
