5. list three biological functions of water,

Explanation:

The main functions of water in living systems are as an effective biological solvent, a reactant molecule in many biological reactions,  a temperature regulator, and a pH buffering agent.

Cell Life, Transport, chemical reactions, waste excretions, and tempature regulations are all biological functions of water

carbohydrates: (starches and sugars) composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.

lipids: (fats, oils, and waxes) are made of carbon and hydrogen atoms.

nucleic acids: contain hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, carbon, and phosphorus. they are polymers of nucleotides. a nucleotide has three parts, a 5-carbon sugar, a phosphate     (-po⬇️4) group, and a nitrogenous base.

proteins: made up of nitrogen, carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. they are polymers of amino acids.
