Water has a characteristically high specific heat, making it an important vector (or mechanism) for redistributing heat around the globe.

Specific heat can be defined as the quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of a substance by one degree Celsius. The units of specific heat are usually calories or joules per gram per degree Celsius.

The specific heat of water is 1 calorie (or 4.186 joules) per gram per degree Celsius. The incoming radiation from the sun is responsible for warming up the Earth. Water in particular, has a high heat capacity at 4.18 J/g*C, which indicates that more heat is needed to warm a gram of water. This is the reason that throughout a warm summer day, the water in the ocean does not experience a significant change.

Which pharmacokinetic parameter is affected most by decreased intestinal motility related to the aging process? a. excretion b.
Tpy6a [65]
I believe the answer is <span>c. absorption

</span>The phase of pharmacokinetic that happens in the intestine is when the drug absorbed. A person with old age will have lower intestine motility. This will increase the transit time which will increase the amount of drug absorbed.

Age could also influence others pharmacokinetic parameter(<span>excretion, distribution, metabolism) but it is related with another organ, not intestine.</span>

When is the only time a black spider monkey sets foot on the ground
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

hey have long, lanky arms and prehensile (gripping) tails that enable them to move gracefully from branch to branch and tree to tree. These nimble monkeys spend most of their time aloft, and maintain a powerful grip on branches even though they have no thumbs.

These New World primates are social and gather in groups of up to two- or three-dozen animals. At night, these groups split up into smaller sleeping parties of a half dozen or fewer. Foraging also occurs in smaller groups, and is usually most intense early in the day. Spider monkeys find food in the treetops and feast on nuts, fruits, leaves, bird eggs, and spiders. They can be noisy animals and often communicate with many calls, screeches, barks, and other sounds.
