Question

Dehydration is known to:
(1 point)

Not affect brain functions.

Slow or stop efficient fat elimination and metabolism

Lead to cases of diarrhea

Cause skin to take on a soft, supple texture

Answer 1

Slow or stop efficient fat elimination and metabolism.

Water is required for many metabolic processes (including lipolysis and transport of waste), so dehydration can impair efficient fat metabolism. The other options are incorrect: dehydration does affect brain function, is usually a consequence (not a cause) of diarrhea, and tends to dry the skin rather than make it soft and supple.
