    The contributions of water properties in Thermoregulation in endotherms and in the plasma membrane structure.

    A) Thermoregulation in endotherms: Water contributes to thermoregulation by its property of High specific heat. Water's high specific heat acts as a heat buffer, it is much harder to cool down/heat up, therefore, it will make warmer than the cold environment around it or colder than the hot environment around it. Thermoregulation works in humansas well. Recall Homeostasis which is the body's way of regulating our temperature.

    B) Plasma membrane structure:

    The property of water, polarity, contributes to the plasma membrane because it creates the arrangement of phospholipids making it a semi-permeable membrane.

    Recall that the Plasma Membrane has a hydrophilic end on the outside that is charged and likes water and a hydrophobic end on the inside that has no charge and doesn't like water.
