Water is a special molecule with many properties that are vital to living things. Which
describes one of those properties and a reason it is vital to living things of marine
ecosystems?

Water is cohesive, meaning its molecules cling to each other; this allows ice to float on liquid
water.

Water is able to dissolve many substances; this allows the water to moderate climates for land
organisms

Water has a high specific heat; it requires large amounts of energy before changing temperature.
This property is responsible for maintaining a narrow temperature range in the ocean.

Water expands when it is frozen; this causes ice to sink and leave liquid water for organisms to
continue inhabiting.
