Despite external temperature fluctuations, the human body maintains a stable internal temperature of 37 degrees Celsius. Which property of water facilitates this homeostasis?
Q1. Despite external temperature fluctuations, the human body maintains a stable internal temperature of 37 degrees Celsius. Which property of water facilitates this homeostasis?
Answer: Specific heat capacity
Explanation: High specific heat capacity allows water to absorb heat with minimal temperature change. Solvent property is tempting but relates to dissolving substances.
