Answer:

Water is a fluid with a high specific heat.

Explanation:

Specific heat is defined as the amount of heat energy measured in calories, that is required to change the temperature of one gram of a substance by one degree Celsius. Water has a very high specific heat of 4.184 Joules. This means that water does not get heated up or cooled easily.

This is important for earth's climate and the organisms in it as they are not subject to sudden and frequent temperature fluctuations.

Answer:

Explanation:

This is placing a cell in hyper tonic solution.Therefore, the water potential of the cells is higher than the environment. Hence it lose water to the environment which has a lower water potential, but higher solute potential.

Therefore the loss of fluid by the cell leads to shrinking of the cytosol and it containing organelles. Later the cells collapse.

Esto es colocar las células en una solución hipertónica. Por lo tanto, el potencial hídrico de las células es mayor que el del medio ambiente. Por lo tanto, perder agua al medio ambiente reducirá el potencial hídrico, pero aumentará el potencial de soluto.

Por lo tanto, la pérdida de líquido por parte de la célula conduce a la contracción del citosol y que contiene orgánulos.
