The appropriate options of the given question is as follows:

a. The high specific heat capacity of water allows the body to absorb a large amount of excess heat energy.

b . The high heat of vaporization of water allows the body to remove excess heat through a phase change of water from liquid to gas.

c . The high surface tension of water contributes to the physical process by which water leaves the body.

d . The high melting temperature of the water allows the body to remove excess heat through a phase change of water from solid to liquid.

Answer:

The correct answer is - Option a. and b.

Explanation:

Sweating is one of the processes of the homeostasis that helps in the regulation of the body temperature in humans and other animals. Sweat helps in preventing the body from overheating if the external environment is high in temperature. The sweat evaporates to release heat in form of calories which helps in the regulation of body temperature.

Due to the high heat capacity of water, helps to more evenly distribute or transfer heat in the body. It helps in maintaining a more even temperature by transporting heat from warm places to cool places.

Thus, the correct answer is - a and b.

d. jointing

Explanation:

The surface area of rocks exposed to weathering is increased by jointing.

Jointing in rocks increases their surface area.

  • Surface area is the outer part of something.
  • Mechanical weathering or physical weathering is highly renowned agent for increasing the surface area of rocks.
  • When rocks fracture they creates cracks called joints.
  • Joints increases the amount of surface exposed.
  • Chemical weathering goes faster in surfaces with increased surface area.

Grand Canyon is getting wider every day. What is making the canyon wider?
ira [324]

The Grand Canyon of Arizona is one of world’s largest and steepest canyons. It ranges up to 277 miles long and 18 miles wide. Its formation is carved due to the erosive power of the water’s current.  As heavy rains continue to occur, more rocks and stones erode and fall which adds length and width to the Grand Canyon.

The flu vaccine (administered as a shot or a nasal spray) is made of a combination of the different types of influenza viruses t
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

This happens because viruses mutate and vary according to the environment they face. That is why different strains occur and appear every day, which must be updated in the vaccines, in order to have immunity up to date and keep up with the viral mutation without making us sick.

Explanation:

Viruses are acellular structures that do not have their own metabolism or replication method, it is because they must dominate and invade the human body so that its DNA or RNA is coupled to the human and this uses the human machinery to be able to replicate.

On the other hand, as infections occur and viruses appear, they can associate with bacteria forming bacteriophages, they can mutate within an organism that is infected by more than one viral infection and they can even adopt retrovirus mechanisms, which day by day. These new viruses are called as new strains, which evolve and will have to be coupled with vaccines.

Vaccines are a method of natural ACTIVE immunity, that is, part of the virus is inoculated, so that it generates the formation of a specific antibody in the body.
