It takes significantly more energy to heat water than other liquids or air. How could this be important for living things?
Because it hakes a lot of energy to heat the water, the water's heat capacity (amount of heat energy necessary to increase the water temperature) is higher. This allows large bodies of water (oceans, lakes, etc.) to absorb larger amounts of heat with very subtle changes in temperature. Therefore. the organisms living in the water are protected from drastic temperature changes (water absorbs the heat produced by cell activity, which regulates cell temperature). This affects other living things because water-dwelling animals are resources to other organisms (for food, material, etc.).
What abiotic resources are important to living things?
Abiotic factors are non-living components of the ambient environment, so examples would be: water, temperature and radiation.
Non-living factors that effect organismsurvival such as water availability pollution and temperature range?
abiotic factors
Abiotic factors of freshwater wetlands?
Abiotic factors mean non living factors. Some that are critical to wetlands are: pH of water, DO (dissolved oxygen), temperature, and soil composition. The pH of the water controls what type of organisms can survive, as does the DO. Some organism such as frogs are very sensitive to the pH of water. This is because their skin is permeable to water. In addition they lay eggs that are permeable to water also. The embryonic development of the frogs is a very sensitive stage of life. If there is not enough DO, fish cannot survive. The temperature affects the DO content of the water and whether or not the wetland is frozen. The soil composition control the drainage of the water from the wetland.
Is a whelk an abiotic factor?
No, a whelk is a living organism and is therefore a biotic factor. Abiotic factors refer to non-living components of an ecosystem, such as temperature, sunlight, and water.
What water temperature should be used when making pastry?

What is The five basic needs of living things are temperature light water energy and?
oxygen
What are five causes of weathering?
water,ice,temperature changes,chemicals,and living animals
Temperature sunlight and water are examples of what?
Factors to which living things respond.
Is there a planet where they is living proof?
water, oxygen, moderate temperature and pressure, plants, animals and people
How is body temperature of all living things maintained?
since water requires a lot of energy to gain heat, it holds the temperature in your body well
What are the non living things in salt marsh?
rocks soil air water light temperature
What are some of the non living things that live on planet earth?
temperature water sunlight oxygen weather
What is a living space provides an organism with air water food proper temperature and shelter?
It is the organism's habitat.

What are the most important parts of climate for most living things?
The most important parts of climate for most living things would be temperature and precipitation. This is because some organisms need water to live or a certain temperature.
