What two parts of an animal give off the most heat?
Tail and Ears
What are 2 things homethermic animal can to do produce more heat?
A homeothermic animal is one that maintains its body heat from the inside, at a relatively constant temperature. Two ways it can produce more heat are to consume additional calories and to increase the level of activity.
Why might it be advantageous for a large animal?
Two main advantages. If a herbivore, becoming so large that a predator cannot get at it. Example - no lion would dare attack an elephant. Of course if a predator also becomes large it can go after large herbivores, but at a cost of speed and concealment, so predators do not tend to become giants. Another advantage is that if an animal does not have homeothermic blood, and they must warm up by basking in the sun, they do not cool down rapidly once they are warmed up. Some of the large dinosaurs were like this, particularly as an example the Stegosaurs, who had large plates well supplied with blood, that they used as solar panels for heat.
This animal Has heat sensors on its upper lip to find prey?
python do have heat sensors on there upper lip
Desert rabbits are adapted to the warm climate because their large ears aid in the removal of heat by?
high heat of vaporization of water.
Does a larger roof have greater heat loss than a smaller roof?
If a large roof is twice the area of a small roof and they are otherwise the same, the heat loss will be approximately double. If the large roof is twice as insulated as the small roof the heat loss will be similar.
Why is thermoregulation more effectively achieved in larger animals than in smaller ones?
Thremoregulation is easily achieved in large animal as they are able to retain the heat gained. In small animal the surface area is large as compares to their volume and hence gain or loose heat faster. large animal having smaller surface area as compared to their volume gain heat slower.
The effects of body size on heat loss?
A bigger animal has a small surface area in relation to their large volume. Smaller animals have a bis surface area to volume ratio which mean heat is easier to be lost.
Which electric heater will yield the greater heat output a large resistance in the coil or a small resistance in the coil?
With the same voltage across two conductors, the conductor with the smaller resistance will dissipate more power, i.e. generate more heat.
If a large at 30 degrees and a small bowl at 30 degrees which has the most heat energy in it?
The large bowl contains the most heat energy.
Does a thermometer bulb have large heat capacity or small heat capacity?
A thermometer bulb should have.small heat capacity. In case if it has large capacity, the temperature of the substance will get lowered due to the large amount of heat absorbed by the thermometer bulb
Why do larger animals keep their body heat better than smaller animals?
This is because of the surface to volume ratio. A small mammal has a larger surface area, as compared to its volume, than a large mammal does, so a small mammal's surface area to volume ratio is bigger. A large surface to volume ratio causes things to pass into the organism and out of the organism more easily, so a mammal with a large surface to volume ratio (a small mammal) will lose heat more easily in a cold environment than a mammal with a small surface to volume ratio (a large mammal).
How large of a room will The Dayton G73 Heater heat?
It will heat a average size bedroom, or small living room.
Which will warm up quickest a large black ball or a small black ball AND Which one will heat up quicker a small white ball or a large white ball?
lol this is my homework too.... A small black ball would warm up the quickest and the small white ball would heat up quicker.
Does water boil faster in a big or small pot?
The answer depends on the heat source. If none of the heat is wasted then it takes exactly the same length of time. For the pot to be larger one would assume that the base takes up a greater area than a small pot. The small pot on a large gas burner would waste energy because heat would rise up the sides of the pot and be wasted whereas the larger pot would absorb more of the heat. Using an inductive hob the time taken to heat up a given amount of water in small and large pots would be relatively equal.
Which pot contains more heat a large pot or small pot of boiling water?
Pea
What is a Honeywell heaters most known for?
A Honeywell heater is most typically used to heat a small space. They are portable units that provide a large amount of heat with a small amount of energy output.
