What are the functions of water in the different kinds of metabolism?

A transports nutrients and waste through the body; is used in the structure of macroelements;

enables biochemical reactions; acts as a solvent for minerals, vitamins, amino acids, glucose, etc;

acts as a joint lubricant; helps maintain an acid-base balance; acts as a shock absorber in the eyes,

the spinal column, and the amniotic sack (during pregnancy); regulates body temperature.

B is an important component of cell membranes; important precursor of biliary acids, vitamin

D3, adrenal hormones. Progesterone, estrogens and androgens

C stabilizes glycemia; creates a feeling of satiation (to suppress hunger during weight loss);

permits the release of an appetite-moderating hormone called cholecystokinin.

D is necessary in order to metabolize lipids; facilitates the absorption of amino acids; is the

only source of energy for the brain, and the eyes depend on it as well; is essential to maintaining

nervous tissue function; enables the intestinal flora to proliferate and synthesize vitamins B and

vitamin K; is a necessary precursor to many essential components such as nucleic acids and nervous
