Why does water heat up and cool down slowly?

Because water has such a high "specific heat" ... it takes so much heat energy to raise the temperature of a pot or a glass of water by only 1 degree. There's only one other substance on Earth that stores more heat than water does for such a small change in temperature. (Liquid ammonia ... 12% more than water.)
That's one reason why, for example, we use water ice to cool our drinks ... it takes SO MUCH heat out of the drink just to melt the ice cube and then to warm up the melted freezing water that comes from it.
That's also why cities near the ocean or a big lake have cooler summers and warmer winters. In the Summer, the water nearby takes lot of heat away from the city and stores it, without getting full of heat. In the Winter, the warm water nearby pours out heat to keep the city warm, without running out of the heat that it holds.

Specific Heat Capacity. It has a high one so it takes a lot of energy to raise or lower the heat by 1 degree.

Give an example of exaptation in humans.
algol13

Answer:

As an example of an exaptation, Gould (1991) used the large size of the human brain and its function of enabling humans to produce speech. The large brain size, according to his argument, originally arose as an adaptation for some (unspecified) functions in humans' ancestral past ( Gould, 1991 ).

Why are fungi more like animals than plants? <br> Please help
dexar [7]

Fungi is more closeley related to animals than plants, because fungal cells are organized into tube-like filaments called hyphae. Hyphae are surrounded by a cell wall, and grow from the tips. This cell organization is very similar to that of an animals.

The DNA in a cell's nucleus encodes proteins that are eventually targeted to every membrane and compartment in the cell, as well
Harrizon [31]

The question is incomplete. The part of the question after this is: Assume that you can track the cellular locations of these two proteins from the time that translation is complete until the proteins reach their final destinations.

Answer:

PFK: cytoplasm

insulin: ER--> Golgi--> outside cell

Explanation:

The proteins which are made and have to function in the same cell like Phosphofructokinase (PFK) do not have to undergo the modification processes which are required fro transporting a protein. Such kind of proteins are translated in the free cytoplasmic ribosomes and released into the cytoplasm where they start to function.

The proteins like insulin need to be traveled to different cells where they have to function. Such kind of proteins are formed in the ribosomes which have rough Endoplasmic Reticulum attached to them. From here, they travel to the Golgi complex where they are modified and packaged. From the Golgi-complex, these proteins are moved out of the cell.
