Although hibernators drop their body temperatures, they do manage maintain a body temperature close to or slightly above ambient temperatures in their burrows. They generate or conserve heat in all of the following ways except one. Which is the one? Non shivering thermogenesis Ruffling the pelage Eating more Calories Bouts of intense shivering
An animal living in a cold environment loses heat at a rate that is proportional to its surface area, but its metabolism generates heat in all of its cells, so the rate of heat generation is proportional to its volume. All other factors being equal (which they often are not!), which implications would follow from these facts? Choose all correct responses. Because it is smaller, a baby seal is more at risk for hypothermia (body temperature falling to too low a value) than is an adult when it is in an ocean significantly colder than its body temperature. If you take a baby outdoors on a cold day, you should dress it more warmly than you would dress yourself because it is smaller. If you take a baby outdoors on a cold day, you should dress it less warmly than you would dress yourself because it is smaller. If you take a baby outdoors on a cold day, how cold it feels to you is a good measure of how warmly you should dress that baby. Because it is smaller, a baby seal is less at…
The human body is composed of water, proteins, fat, and minerals. Its specific heat reflects thiscomposition. With 75% water and 25% protein, what would be the specific heat of the body?Differentiate the three ways of heat transfer.
Bees and sharks show regional endothermy, what is the critical factor for generating metabolic heat in both cases? Ruffling the pelage Counter current heat exchange Muscle contraction Increased ventilation rate
Endotherms can regulate how much heat is gained or lost between the environment and their bodies via 4 different mechanisms/processes. List and describe these mechanisms.
According to the concept of set point, our body maintainsitself at a particular weight level. This “weight thermostat” isan example of _______________.
A house is launched into space, wearing a suit that provides it with oxygen but very little insulation. Estimate how long it will take the cow to radiate enough heat to lower its body temperature by 3 degree, wherein hypothermia will begin to set in.
Temperature and wind combine to cause heat loss. Hypothermia occurs when the body temperature falls more than 4 degrees F below normal. Death can occur if hypothermia persists for over 3 hours. According to the chart, in which of the following temperature and wind combinations would the body temperature be the lowest and a person most at risk for developing hypothermia?

Heat exchange with the environment depends on the surface area-to-volume ratio of the body. Assuming that the body shape of an animal is at least somewhat spherical, a considerable decrease in body size would _______ the surface area-to-volume ratio, and the ability to exchange heat with the environment would _______. A. increase; increase B. increase; stay about the same C. increase; decrease D. decrease; increase E. decrease; stay about the same
