Would fevers run higher or lower if water's specific heat were not so high?
A) With a lower specific heat, water would require a higher energy input to change its temperature. Our fevers, therefore, would run at a lower temperature.
B) With a lower specific heat, water would gain a higher temperature for the same amount of energy input. Our fevers, therefore, would run at a higher temperature.
C) A lower specific heat would not effect its ability to change waters temperature, so it would not have an effect on our fevers.
D) With a lower specific heat, our bodies would evaporate (sweat) twice as much water, therefore our fevers would be lower.
