The high boiling point of water is advantageous to living organisms because:
- the environment seldom reaches the boiling point of water
- organisms can easily boil off enough water to keep themselves cool
- it allows organisms to spread heat evenly throughout their bodies
- organisms can absorb a great deal of heat before they reach the boiling point from organisms and populations.
Answer
(D) organisms can absorb a great deal of heat before they reach the boiling point from organisms and populations.
