Answer:

The correct answer is option B) high specific heat.

Explanation:

Water is present all over the globe and covered the whole earth. The specific heat of the water is the highest of any other liquid. Specific heat is the amount of heat, must be absorbed or removed by the one gram of a substance to 1 degree Celsius change in temperature.

Answer:

In quiet breathing inspiration involves muscular contractions and expiration is passive.

Explanation:

Respiration process involves two different stages, inspiration - inhalation- and expiration - exhalation-.

During inspiration, the diaphragm <u>contracts</u> and goes down, while intercostal muscles also <u>contract</u> and go up. These actions enhance the size of the thoracic box and <u>reduce internal pressure</u>. As a result, air flows in and fills the lungs.

During expiration, the <u>diaphragm relaxes</u> and the volume of the thoracic box diminishes, which causes the <u>pressure inside to increase</u>. In consequence, the lungs contract and the air is expulsed outside.
