Question

The high boiling point of water is advantageous to living organisms because

• A. The environment seldom reaches the boiling point of water
• B. Organisms can easily boil off enough water to keep themselves cool
• C. It allows organisms to spread heat evenly throughout their bodies
• D. Organisms can absorb a great deal of heat before they reach the boiling point from organisms and population

Answer 1

The correct option is D Organisms can absorb a great deal of heat before they reach the boiling point from organisms and population

The high boiling point of water is advantageous to living organisms because organisms can absorb a great deal of heat before they reach the boiling point from organisms and population. Thus the organisms will not be affected by the high temperature because water can absorb the heat and maintain its homogeneity by uniformly dissipating it.

So the correct option is 'Organisms can absorb a great deal of heat before they reach the boiling point from organisms and population'.
