Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale: Water has many important roles in the human body including transportation of nutrients and other substances; regulation of the core body temperature; removal of waste products; and lubricant for joints, eyes, and mucous membranes. Water is lost during fecal elimination, but does not cause the process. Weight is affected by the amount of water in the body, but is not stabilized by it. Euhydration refers to a state of water balance.
