The specific heat capacity represents the amount of energy, in joules, that it takes to raise the temperature of one gram of a given substance by one degree Celsius. Put more simply, the amount of energy it takes to raise a quantity of water by one degree Celsius would raise an equivalent quantity of sand by a little over 14 degrees. Likewise, sand does not need to lose nearly as much energy as water to produce equivalent cooling. Since it "holds" a lot less energy, it cools down much faster than sand.
Indeed, liquid water has an unusually high specific heat capacity. Because it is much less prone to temperature swings than other common substances, large bodies of water often work to moderate temperatures in a region. This helps to explain, for example, why average temperatures fluctuate very little over the year in San Francisco, a city whose climate is heavily influenced by the water that nearly surrounds it.

Cells Can Replicate Their DNA Precisely. Replication is the process by which a double-stranded DNA molecule is copied to produce two identical DNA molecules. DNAreplication is one of the most basicprocesses that occurs within a cell.
Mitosis is a type of cell division which results in two daughter cells which have the same number and kind of cells as the parent nucleus. Mitosis is used to replace worn out cells and for growth. In plants, a new cell was is built between the daughter cells, while in animals the cell membranes constrict and pinch the parent cell into daughter cells.
