Water has an amazingly high specific heat compared to most substances so for example: adding or removing 1 Joule of energy from 1000 cm3 of water will change its temperature much less than it would change 1000 cm3 of most other substances.

When body temperature rises a center in the brain initiates physiological changes to decrease the body temperature is an example of negative feedback or positive feedback?
This is a very good example of negative feedback.
What is an example of an exothermic organism?
Hi. Around the deep water vents exist organisms that thrive in the heat of super heated water. But any cold blooded creature is exothermic. Snakes are a good example. They control there body heat by using an external heat source. Sunlight by day and warm surfaces by night. An exothermic organism is cold- blooded and it's body temperature shifts depending upon the temperature of it's surrounding environment, for example a fish. An endothermic organism is a warmblooded organism that maintains a certain temperature inside the body no madder what its surrounding environments temperature is, for example humans.
What abiotic factors do badgers need?
They need Water, Soil, Good Temperature, a Good Amount of Spacing, Sunlight, and of course Oxygen.
How water helps to maintain the body?
Well, on average, the human body itself is about 70% water (depending on body size). In order to function properly, the human body requires about 2 liters of water per day in order to stay hydrated, but this number can fluctuate depending on humidity, body temperature, physical activity, and so on.
How do bodies maintain homeostasis?
Organisms maintain homeostasis by perceiving changes in the internal and external environment and then signalling to cells, tissues and organs to counteract those changes. For instance, to maintain a constant internal body temperature, the body senses both the body's current temperature as well as the air temperature around the body. Then, depending upon which is warmer and which cooler, the body then signals for additional blood flow to the skin and the secretion of sweat (to cool the body) or signals for decreased blood flow to the skin and possibly for muscles to start contracting (to warm the body).
What is the difference between conformers and regulators?
simply, Regulator uses internal control mechanism to have the best temperature it needs for its body. on the other hand, conformer find a place with a good temperature to live in, because they can't regulate.
Why is body temperature not a good fixed temperature for establishing a temperature scale?
Not everyone has the same body temperature and it changes with throughout the day
Is 95.9 a good temperature?
No that is not a good body temperature if its that low you need to go to the hospital
What is the best temperature of lukewarm water 71 degrees Fahrenheit or 71 degrees Celsius?
Body temperature is about 98oF or 36oC, so 71oF would not be too good a temperature for lukewarm water, it would be too cool but 71 ºC would be way to warm.
Is drinking lukewarm water a good way to lose weight?
No,the temperature of water doesn't burn calories. the only time you need warm water is after you've been sweating or outside for a long time you need to drink water that's reltive to the inside temperature of your body.
Is 98.4 a good temperature for the body?
Yes, a body temperature of 98.4 is considered normal. Even though a body temperature of 98.6 is generally accepted as the normal body temperature, there are studies that show that there are wide ranges of normal body temperatures, so in this case, 98.4 is a normal body temperature.
How the temperature and hotness of the body related?
If the body has a high temperature, then it would be considered hot. The term "hot" can also mean "good looking." This meaning of hot has nothing to do with the temperature of the body.
What temperature is good for E.coli?
Body temperature is the best but it will grow in a wide range of temperatures.
Is 97.9 a good temperature?
It's a bit low - 'normal' body temperature is 98.6oF
Is drinking hot water good for liver?
Doesnt matter at all. Whatever you eat or drink will very quickly assume body temperature anyhow.
Is perrier water good for you?
It is not harmful and water, be it perrier or vitamin water, is good for the body.
Is 98.0 degrees Fahrenheit a good body temperature?
The average body temperature is around 97.9 - 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit, so while it is in the lower bracket, it is still a healthy temperature.
