Question 13 of 21

2

Select from the dropdown lists to complete the text.

Water has a high specific heat capacity:
( Large, Small ) amount of heat energy is needed to raise its temperature, due to the ( hydrogen, covalent, disulphuric ) bonds restricting movement with ( increasing, deacreasing ) kinetic energy. This prevents temperature ( fluctuations, changes, maintenance ) which stabilises aquatic habitats. It allows ( enzymes, amino acids, nerves ) and cells to function properly.
