Question
Chapter 56, Problem 3.9A
Summary Introduction
To fill:
The correct term in the given blank.
Introduction:
The living organisms are considered living because there are many non-living processes being carried out in the body to make the body a living body. The vital processes that occur in our body are on a mission to maintain homeostasis in the body.

Using the Venn diagram compare and contrast how thermoregulation in the human body is comparable to a thermostat regulating temperature in a home or building.
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
Temperature and wind combine to cause heat loss. Hypothermia occurs when the body temperature falls more than 4 degrees F below normal. Death can occur if hypothermia persists for over 3 hours. According to the chart, in which of the following temperature and wind combinations would the body temperature be the lowest and a person most at risk for developing hypothermia?

- An animal living in a cold environment loses heat at a rate that is proportional to its surface area, but its metabolism generates heat in all of its cells, so the rate of heat generation is proportional to its volume. All other factors being equal (which they often are not!), which implications would follow from these facts? Choose all correct responses. Because it is smaller, a baby seal is more at risk for hypothermia (body temperature falling to too low a value) than is an adult when it is in an ocean significantly colder than its body temperature. If you take a baby outdoors on a cold day, you should dress it more warmly than you would dress yourself because it is smaller. If you take a baby outdoors on a cold day, you should dress it less warmly than you would dress yourself because it is smaller.
