Please describe the thermal physiology of
Asian elephants.
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
