Question
Chapter 40.3, Problem 1CC
Summary Introduction
To explain: The mode of heat exchange involved in “wind chill”.
Concept introduction:
Thermoregulation is a process where an animal sustains its internal temperature within an optimum range. Animals balance the heat gain or loss through physiological and behavioral adjustments.
