Question

which of the following is an example of the heat capacity of water? multiple choice living organisms are able to maintain their internal body temperatures because the water in their cells resists changes in temperature. water molecules stick together. water is able to travel up a 100-foot tree. water expands as it freezes causing ice to float on the surface of a lake. small insects can walk on water.

Explanation:

Heat capacity of water means water can absorb or release heat without rapid temperature change. The first option describes water in cells resisting temp changes (allowing organisms to maintain body temp), which matches heat capacity. The other options relate to cohesion (water molecules sticking), capillary action (water moving up tree), density (ice floating), or surface tension (insects on water), not heat capacity.

Answer:

A. Living organisms are able to maintain their internal body temperatures because the water in their cells resists changes in temperature.
