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
Which of the following would increase the rate of heatexchange between an animal and its environment?(A) feathers or fur(B) vasoconstriction(C) wind blowing across the body surface(D) countercurrent heat exchanger
When animals hibernate, they lower their temperature. How would this reduce the rate of heat lost through conduction?
