Answer:

Water is relatively resistant to an increase in temperature.

Explanation:

Water is relatively heat-resistant (high specific heat), so approximately 1/3 of the solar energy that reaches the Earth's surface is dissipated to heat water in rivers, lakes and oceans. As there is a higher incidence of solar radiation in the tropical regions of the globe, ocean currents are important heat carriers for higher latitude regions. This property means that water has a high heating capacity.

Under aerobic condition, energy is directed towards the Krebs cycle in the form of piruvate and NADH to create more ATP. Under anaerobic conditions piruvate does not enter the Krebs cycle and it is oxidized to produce lactate.
