Match each property of water with its effect on living organisms High heat of vaporization High solubility of ions and polar molecules A wide variety of substances can move freely and interact within cells Hydrophobic exclusion The temperature of living organisms is relatively stable Lakes freeze from the top down allowing fish and other life to survive below the surface High specific heat Ice is less dense than liquid water Evaporation of water is often used to cool body surfaces Nonpolar molecules tend to aggregate or organize in ways that minimize their contact with water
