|
The very high specific heat of H20 keeps temperatures stable.
|
|
|
Significance to the living organisms of of the following properties of water: heat capacity.
|
The number of heat units needed to raise the temperature of water by one degree.

|
Significance to the living organism of of the following properties of water: ability to dissolve most substances.
|
It easily transports them to where they are needed.
|
|
|
Significance to living organisms of the following properties of water: high cohesion.
|
When the water molecules stick together it allows water to be pulled up plant stems to the leaves.
|
|
|
significance to living organisms of the following properties of water: unusual property of ice being less dense than water.
|
Ice's low density keeps it floating at the top of the water.
