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.

Why does drinking cold water feel good?

Drinking cold water feels good because it can help lower your body temperature and provide a refreshing sensation, especially when you are hot or thirsty.


What is considered a good body temperature for optimal health and well-being?

The average normal body temperature is around 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit (37 degrees Celsius). This is considered a good body temperature for optimal health and well-being.


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 an example of negative feedback because the body is working to reverse the initial change in order to restore homeostasis. When the body temperature rises, the brain triggers responses such as sweating and vasodilation to help cool down the body and bring the temperature back to the normal range.


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.


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.

Which property of water makes it good at regulating temperature?

Water has a high specific heat capacity, which means it can absorb and release a lot of heat without its temperature changing significantly. This property allows water to moderate temperature changes in its surroundings, making it an effective regulator of temperature.


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.

When you put your hands in the water at he room temperature why do you not feel cold?

If the water is room temperature, meaning the same temperature as the air, then you wouldn't feel a change in temperature. On the other hand, If there was a breeze or the air was otherwise in motion, it might increase evaporation of skin moisture and have a cooling effect. In that situation, putting your hands into the water might make them feel warmer.


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.


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 your body a good conductor of heat?

Yes, the human body is a poor conductor of heat due to its high water content. This means that heat does not easily flow through the body, helping to maintain a relatively constant internal 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.
