Answer:

Specific Heat

Step-by-step explanation:

The ability of living organism to maintain a relatively constant internal environment id called Homeostasis.This characteristic feature of living organism is coordinated by the brain-hypothalamus with different organs and systems of the body. Based on the response of the body to certain chemical substances regulation this could be positive or negative feedback.

The specific heat capacity of water is the quantity of heat energy required to raise the temperature of 1g of water over temperature range of 1oC.

Water has lager amount of Hydrogen bonds that must be broken down before it molecules could be freed to escape as gasses to boil.However,it need a high amount heat energy for this to occur.This high specific heat capacity made water to accommodate wide fluctuation in body temperature,and thus stabilize the body temperature when this rises above optimum of 37.5

However,when need arise to release the heat wen the body temperature drops in the body,water release s the heat slowly so that it would not affect the body temperature.

Therefore the wide variation in the body temperature is relatively controlled.

Thus is homeostasis..
