Humans and some other animals use evaporative cooling to help regulate body temperature. Which statement
regarding evaporative cooling is true?
Evaporative cooling is possible because of the high heat capacity of liquid water.
Evaporative cooling has a cost: the organism must ingest water and ions that are lost during sweating.
Body temperature decreases during evaporative cooling because the water molecules with the greatest kinetic energy leave.
