Answer:
The high specific heat of water caused by hydrogen bonding
Explanation:
Specific heat capacity of a substance is the quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of that substance by one degree Celsius (1° C).
Due to the hydrogen bonding present in water, water has a high specific heat capacity of 4184 Joules per kilogram. This means that, water has to absorb 4,184 Joules of heat for the temperature of one kilogram of water to increase 1°C. When compared to other substances such as metals, this is very high. For example, the specific heat capacity of copper is 385 Joules per kilogram which means that it only takes 385 Joules of heat to raise 1 kilogram of copper 1°C.
Therefore water, can absorb a large quantity of heat with very little changes in its temperature. This property of water helps the oceans and seas to serve as heat reservoirs by absorbing a large quantity of heat in hotter seasons and releasing these heat in colder seasons.

Answer:
<em>Artemia salina</em> (brine shrimp)
Explanation:
<em>Prorocentrum lima</em> is a highly-toxic benthic species that usually reproduces and inhabits in tropical areas. It is the main cause of toxicity in humans after consuming it unintentionally while eating seafood.
Brine shrimps (<em>Artemia salina</em>) have been observed to prey on these organisms. However, according to researchers, <u>some individuals die shortly after consuming one specimen. Others have been observed to die after consuming multiple specimens</u> of <em>Prorocentrum lima</em>. This indicates that, although it is consumed by this planktonic organism, it is still highly toxic and lethal for brine shrimps.
Answer:
c - the volume of solution changes due to movement of water.
Explanation:
Passive transport is the movement of a substance from an area of high concentration to a low concentration across a semi-permeable membrane, that occurs without the expenditure of energy.
Option A is true: substances will always move from an area of high concentration to a lower concentration. This creates what is called a concentration gradient (which forms when a physical area contains a range of concentrations of s particular substance (option D). This occurs until the concentration of a solution approaches an equilibrium, as indicated in option B.
However, the movement of substances does not affect the movement of or the volume of water, only the chemicals, ions etc. in the water.
