Question

which is one way that water helps living things?
○ temperature regulation
○ oxygen transportation
○ heat absorption
○ nutrient production

Explanation:

Water has a high specific heat capacity, which allows it to absorb and release heat slowly, enabling living organisms to maintain stable internal temperatures (temperature regulation). Oxygen transportation is primarily done by hemoglobin in blood, not water itself. Heat absorption is a property of water that enables temperature regulation, but temperature regulation is the direct way it helps living things. Water does not produce nutrients; it aids in nutrient transport and is a component of many biological processes, but not nutrient production.

Answer:

A. temperature regulation
