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
Dogs walk with much quicker strides than do humans. Is this primarily because, compared to human legs, dogs’ legs (i) are shorter; (ii) are less massive; (iii) have a higher ratio of muscle to fat; (iv) have paws rather than toes; or (v) more than one of these?
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.

One form of cheating utilized by endurance athletes is called blood doping, which relates to our study of cellular respiration. “Blood doping is the misuse of certain techniques and/or substances to increase one’s red blood cell mass, which allows the body to transport more oxygen to muscles and therefore increase stamina and performance.” Definition from https://www.wada-ama.org/en/questions-answers/blood-doping From PED, to shaving points, bribery to drugging opponents (https://www.irishtimes.com/sport/maradona-backs-branco-s-claim-of-drug-laced-bottle-at-italia-90-1.4091470), there seems to be countless ways for athletes for gain an advantage.
