Life on Earth is made possible by the unique characteristics of water. Which of these statements best describes the characteristic of water that impacts its role in moderating Earth's climate Water's cohesive ability allows it to moderate temperature through the process of transpiration
o Water's hydrogen bonds require large amounts of heat energy to break, helping it moderate temperature,
Water is able to moderate the temperature in various environments because it is able to dissolve many substances.
Water has a low surface tension that allows it to easily evaporate at a low temperature, helping it moderate temperature

4.) metal

"-the movement of carbon from the nonliving environment into living things and back to the environment

-carbon is the essential component of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates (which make up all organisms)

-carbon exists in air, water, and living organisms

-producers convert carbon dioxide in the atmosphere into carbohydrates during photosynthesis

-bacteria in the atmosphere cycles through the system in filtration units

-in cellular respiration, carbon is released back into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide

-some carbon is stored in limestone (forming one of the largest "carbon sinks" on earth)

-largest carbon reservoir on earth= limestone

-carbon stored in the bodies of organisms as fat, oils, or other molecules may be released into the soil or air when the organism dies

-this may form deposits of coal, oil, or natural gas (fossil fuels, which increased the atmospheric carbon dioxide)

-fossil fuels store carbon left over from bodies of organisms that died millions of years ago

-they are located in the surface of earth, deep within the earth and beneath the ocean floor."
