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.

The digestive tract is essentially one long tube. Write down order of the structures
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

It consists of the mouth, or oral cavity, with its teeth, for grinding the food, and its tongue, which serves to knead food and mix it with saliva; the throat, or pharynx; the esophagus; the stomach; the small intestine, consisting of the duodenum, the jejunum, and the ileum; and the large intestine, consisting of the cecum, a closed-end sac connecting with the ileum, the ascending colon, the transverse colon, the descending colon, and the sigmoid colon, which terminates in the rectum. Glands contributing digestive juices include the salivary glands, the gastric glands in the stomach lining, the pancreas, and the liver and its adjuncts—the gallbladder and bile ducts. All of these organs and glands contribute to the physical and chemical breaking down of ingested food and to the eventual elimination of nondigestible wastes.

Which structure is common in animal cells but rare in plant cells?
Kobotan [32]

The correct answer is option 3, that is, lysosome.  

The lysosomes comprise hydrolytic enzymes essential for intracellular digestion. They are commonly found in the cells of animals but are rare in plant cells. In the plant cells, the hydrolytic enzymes are most often found in the vacuoles.  

The other mentioned components like cell wall are exclusively found in plant cells, not in animal cells, vacuole is found in both plant and animal cells, it is bigger in plant cells in comparison to animal cells, and the mitochondria are witnessed in both plant and animal cells.
