It's an important part of the bird's ability to maintain its body temperature. 
Air is a poor conductor of heat, so the air trapped among the feathers
prevents the loss of heat in cold atmosphere, and prevents overheating
in hot atmosphere.  Much like our wearing several layers of clothing.

Pure water is very close to a pH of 7. The Great Salt Lake (from what I've read about) can range from 8.2 to 7.7 in different areas. Saliva is between 6.5 and 7.5. And ammonia has a pH of 11.
So the items that have a pH between 5 and 8 are pure water, saliva, and possibly the Great Salt Lake.

4. Describe the cell cycle and cell division and explain their importance to an organism.
Marianna [84]
<span>The main reasons why cell division is important in organisms are reproduction, repair and growth. Cell division is necessary in order for life to continue.
</span><span>
The length of the cell cycle is important because it determines how quickly an organism can multiply. For single-celled organisms, this rate determines how quickly the organism can reproduce new, independent organisms. </span><span>Most of the differences in cell cycle duration between species and cells are found in the duration of specific cell cycle phases. DNA replication, for example, generally proceeds faster the simpler the organisms. One reason for this trend is simply that prokaryotic have smaller genomes and not as much DNA to be replicated.</span>
