Question

how does water relate to the ability of a living thing to generate usable energy?
o water is responsible for the generation of energy in the cell.
o water is a polar molecule.
o without the proper balance of water, chemical reactions in cells could not take place.

Explanation:

Cells rely on chemical reactions to generate usable energy. Water is crucial for these reactions to occur. While water is a polar molecule, this fact alone doesn't directly relate to energy - generation. And water isn't directly responsible for energy - generation in the cell. But without the proper balance of water, the necessary chemical reactions in cells for energy - production could not take place.

Answer:

Without the proper balance of water, chemical reactions in cells could not take place.
