Because water is a polar molecule, it makes an excellent solvent for atoms and compounds found within cells and tissues. Water, acting as a solvent in organisms, aids in all of the following EXCEPT

a. eliminating wastes.
b. maintaining turgor pressure.
c. constructing cell membranes.
d. supplying oxygen and nutrients to cells.

constructing cell membranes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

c. constructing cell membranes. The cell membrane is composed of phospholipids and fibrous proteins, as well as glycoprotein, pore protein and channel protein. The cell membrane doesn't allow water soluble substances to pass through (glucose, water, amino acids) without the help of various transport proteins.
