Which statement best describes how water’s properties relate to its functions in a human’s biological systems?

water absorbs a lot of energy from the skin due to its high specific heat.
water enters the body and provides support due to capillary action.
water decrease the body’s density to allow it to float.
water dissolves and transports nonpolar covalent compounds in the body.

The answer is Water absorbs a lot of energy from the skin due to its high specific heat. This is why the human body sweats on a hot day. It allows water to cover the surface of the skin and absorb excess heat from the body and evaporate. Water has a high specific heat capacity meaning it requires high amount of energy to raise the temperature of a unit mass by one degree.
