The rate of heat loss in a mammal is regulated bya. the degree of blood flow at the surface of the skin.b. the amount of perspiration.c. behavioral adaptations.d. air currents near the animal’s body.e. all of the above.
Which method of heat exchange occurs during direct contact between the source and animal? a. radiation b. evaporation c. convection d. conduction
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.
