Which property of water plays an important role in regulation of heat produced by oxidation?
Correct answer: B. Heat of vaporization
- A. Heat capacity
- B. Heat of vaporization
- C. Dipole nature
- D. Ionization of water
Explanation
The correct answer is Heat of vaporization. Water's high heat of vaporization allows it to absorb large amounts of heat energy as it transitions from liquid to gas, which helps to dissipate excess heat produced by exothermic oxidation reactions. This process has a cooling effect, preventing overheating of the surrounding environment. The other options, while describing important properties of water, do not specifically address the regulation of heat produced by oxidation.

About Biological Molecules
The chapter covers water's polarity and biological roles, carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids, including their monomers, bonds, structures and functions. It also distinguishes RNA from DNA and explains conjugated molecules such as glycoproteins, glycolipids and nucleoproteins, which combine organic molecules with a non-protein component.
