Answer:

High specific heat.

Explanation:

Water is able to maintain the temperature of living organisms because it has highest specific heat. Specific heat is a physical property of matter. If specific heat is high then the matter does not get heated easily but once it is heated it does not cool down easily either. In short we can say that water can easily resist temperature changes because it has very high specific heat.   This property plays a great role in maintaining the temperature of a living organism's body because all organisms have water in their body. When heat is generated within the body, it is unable to disrupt internal temperature of the organism's body because the water does not get heated easily as a result of which the temperature of the body does not rise. On the other hand, the internal temperature of the body remains the same with slight decrease in the temperature outside because water does not radiate heat easily either. This is how high specific heat of water helps in maintaining a constant temperature in the body of organisms.

photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

Genotype of the male parent: YY

Phenotype of the male parent: Yellow

Genotype of the female parent: Yy

Phenotype of the female parent: Yellow

To determine the genotype and phenotype of the offspring, lets make a punnet square:

         Y                y

Y     YY              Yy

Y     YY              Yy

Genotype of offspring: 50% YY and 50%Yy

Phentype of offspring: All yellow plants

<u><em>The results of the Punnet square illustrate that none of the offspring will have green seeds.</em></u>

During a very hot, sunny day, are stomata likely to be open or closed? Explain.

zavuch27 [327]

Answer: (d) e^12

Explanation:

<em>The relationship between the standard free energy change, </em>ΔG, and the equilibrium constant, K at a particular temperature is represented<em> Using the formula</em> ΔG = -RTlnK, where G = -30, RT = -2.5 and [Pi] = 1

lnK = ΔG/-RT

lnK = -30/-2.5

lnK = 12

<em>taking exponents of both sides</em>

e^(lnK) = e^12

K = e^12
