Question

Water is important to maintain homeostasis in an organism. Which of the following

properties of water is not needed for an organism's homeostasis?
Capillary action allows plants to receive water and nutrients from the ground.
Polarity allows minerals and nutrients to dissolve in water.
The density of ice allows organisms to live in ponds in the winter and in cold temperatures.
Surface tension allows insects to walk on water.

Answer 1

surface tension allows insects to walk on water. this is the case because homeostasis is a biological equilibrium and all of the other answers allow for organisms to meet that specific equilibrium, excluding the last option.
