Waters high heat protects organisms in ocean from what

Water's high specific heat allows it to absorb a large amount of heat without changing much in temperature, keeping a relatively constant temperature in oceans and lakes which is beneficial to marine life. If water did not have a high specific heat, then it would increase in temperature very quickly and oceans and lakes would have drastic changes in temperature in very short periods of time. This could harm or kill the organisms living in them.

a. population growth is decreasing

-2

+4

-10

-3

-8

-3

so the population decreased by 24 because 3+3+8+10+2=26-2=24.
