ZIMSEC O Level Biology Notes:Properties and Biological significance of water
Property: High heat of fusion
- This is a measure of the heat energy required to melt a solid (ice).
- Liquid water must lose a large amount of heat energy to freeze.
Biological role
- Contents of cells and their environment are therefore less likely to freeze.
- This is an advantage for bodies of […]
