Question
water makes up approximately 60% of the human body and plays a vital role in regulating body temperature. which property of water makes it good at regulating temperature?
a. water has an unusual crystalline structure
b. water has a high capacity for heat.
c. water exhibits strong cohesion
d. water is a good solvent.
The high heat - capacity of water allows it to absorb or release a large amount of heat without a significant change in its own temperature, making it effective in regulating body temperature. Unusual crystalline structure affects density changes with temperature, cohesion is related to surface tension and capillary action, and being a good solvent is about dissolving substances, none of which directly relate to temperature regulation as much as heat - capacity.
