How does water relate to the ability of a living thing to generate energy?
o without the proper balance of water, chemical reactions in cells could not
o water is responsible for the generation of energy in the cell.
the cell is an aqueous environment.

the question isn't that clear in my opinion but anyways. I know water is not responsible for ATP production in cells and some organisms require a moist environment to diffuse oxygen through their cells like newts can take in oxygen through their skin. So I would probably say the incomplete answer -

(Without the proper balance of water, chemical reactions in cells could not)

-is correct.
