The appropriate options of the given question is as follows:
a. The high specific heat capacity of water allows the body to absorb a large amount of excess heat energy.
b
. The high heat of vaporization of water allows the body to remove excess heat through a phase change of water from liquid to gas.
c
. The high surface tension of water contributes to the physical process by which water leaves the body.
d
. The high melting temperature of the water allows the body to remove excess heat through a phase change of water from solid to liquid.
Answer:
The correct answer is - Option a. and b.
Explanation:
Sweating is one of the processes of the homeostasis that helps in the regulation of the body temperature in humans and other animals. Sweat helps in preventing the body from overheating if the external environment is high in temperature. The sweat evaporates to release heat in form of calories which helps in the regulation of body temperature.
Due to the high heat capacity of water, helps to more evenly distribute or transfer heat in the body. It helps in maintaining a more even temperature by transporting heat from warm places to cool places.
Thus, the correct answer is - a and b.
