Because organisms are made primarily of water, they resist rapid temperature changes. This useful quality is based on water's _____

Respuesta :

Answer:

High specific heat capacity.

Explanation:

The specific heat capacity of water is the quantity of  heat energy needed to raise 1 kg of water by one degree.

The high specific heat capacity of water is due to high hydrogen bonds which holds water molecules together, preventing their free movements.Therefore, large amount of energy is needed to raise water temperature. The hydrogen bonds also enabled  water to store energy.

This features of water makes, plasma resistant to fluctuations in body and environmental temperature, and allows biochemical reactions to occurs at relatively constant rate.
