Lipids are used for long term energy storage as fats in humans and oils in plants. Carbohydrates are used for short term energy storage because they can be transported easily. Hope this helps xx
The specific heat capacity represents the amount of energy, in joules, that it takes to raise the temperature of one gram of a given substance by one degree Celsius. Put more simply, the amount of energy it takes to raise a quantity of water by one degree Celsius would raise an equivalent quantity of sand by a little over 14 degrees. Likewise, sand does not need to lose nearly as much energy as water to produce equivalent cooling. Since it "holds" a lot less energy, it cools down much faster than sand.
Indeed, liquid water has an unusually high specific heat capacity. Because it is much less prone to temperature swings than other common substances, large bodies of water often work to moderate temperatures in a region. This helps to explain, for example, why average temperatures fluctuate very little over the year in San Francisco, a city whose climate is heavily influenced by the water that nearly surrounds it.
Answer:
The correct answer is option C. "Increase in temperature â Increased rate of evaporation â More moisture in air".
Explanation:
Thermohaline circulation, also known as Global Ocean Conveyor, is the way that vast masses of water are moved in the ocean controlled by horizontal differences in temperature and salinity. This movement is usually slow, and serves as a way to transport heat, nutrients and other materials trough the ocean. When thermohaline circulation gets unusually slower, the heat is not efficiently transported. This results in an increase in the overall temperature, which increases the rate of evaporation, increasing the level of moisture in air and finally resulting in more frequent severe storms.
