Answer:
Explanation:
This is due to the fact that water has high specific heath capacity,which makes it to accommodate large amount of heat energy produced by the catabolic reactions which liberated heat.
General, the amount of heat energy needed to raise the temperature of a particular substance over a given amount is called the specific heat capacity of that substance. Therefore for water, the amount of heat energy needed to raise the mass of 1kg of water by 1 degree is called the specific heat capacity of water.
Since large hydrogen bonds held water molecules together,it takes a long time of heat energy to break these bonds free to raise the temperature of water.Hence, water in living cells is able to accommodate large amount of heat energy to stabilise the temperate of the cells.
Answer:
Explanation:
Photosynthesis is a special process that certain organisms (plants, algae, and some bacteria) undergo to create "food".
This turns light energy, carbon dioxide, and water into glucose and oxygen. The glucose becomes the food for the organism, because it is turned into ATP during cellular respiration. The ATP is energy that fuels the processes, like growth, repair, and transport.
This process occurs because of the <u>sun</u>. It provides the light energy needed for the reaction. Organelles inside of the cells, called chloroplasts, contain a pigment (chlorophyll) that captures this energy.
In the DESERT Biome , which of the following could be an example of commensalism?
A. A gopher snake occupies a burrow made by the desert rat.
B. A chipmunk takes shelter in an oak tree and is protected from predators and in return, disperses seeds around the area.
C. Wasps lay eggs in the case of eggs laid by the praying mantis. When the wasp eggs hatch, the larvae feeds on the eggs of the praying mantis.
D. A tapeworm gets into a moose and causes harm
E. A fox follows a caribou that removes the snow covering to get to the lichens under the soil. The fox then hunts the animals that have been uncovered.
<u>F. A desert coyote eats fruit and in return disperses the seeds of the fruit around through its scat (poop).

Floods affect the environment by destroying building, creating areas of more fertile soil and speeding up the weathering of rock.
Answer: Option A,B & C
<u>Explanation:</u>
Floods obviously destroy every building on its way ruining the whole place taking away the lives of people and stock. But the flood also carries many nutrients along it’s way which creates areas of more fertile soil.
Unexpected floods enter into the holes of the rock and during winter it transforms into ice and causes crack in the rock. The flood water gushing fast normally breaks down the corners of the rock hence causing weathering of rock.
A chemical substance that an organism requires to live. a nutrient that is scarce or cycles slowly through an ecosystem. ensures that nutrients will be circulated throughout the biosphere.
