Mammals lose heat because they are often warmer than their surroundings, it is a law of thermodynamics that heat flows from warm to cool.

Do all black bodies loss heat faster or slowly?
d
What is the difference between heat gain and heat loss?
These are exact opposities - heat gain is an increase in energy that results in an increased temperature of the material. Heat loss is a loss in energy that results in a decreased temperature of the material.
Birds are able to increase heat loss by?
Yall should know this
How does body size affect heat loss in mammals?
The more fat that there is on an animal the more heat it will be able to store, because the fat and blubber trap in heat.
What is insensible heat loss?
Also Latent Heat Loss. The heat that is lost through the continuous, unnoticed water loss that occurs with vaporization accounting for 10% of basal heat production. Evaporation accounts for the greatest heat loss when body head increases.. Does not result in temperature increase of surrounding air.

How does land affect the environment?
reduces biodiversity, increase heat changes hydrology loss of trees increase in foreign species.
How does urban land affect the environment?

Which one isn't a symptom of alcohol abuse coma loss of body heat respiratory increase speech disruption motor disruption?
Respiratory increase
Is precipitation heat loss or heat gain?
heat loss
What is the relationship between size and being coldblooded or warm blooded?
The ratio of a body to it's mass is less the larger the animal is. A warm blooded animal that is big can generate more heat than a smaller animal. The heat loss from their bodies is proportional to the surface of their bodies, and the heat created by their bodies is proportional to their mass. A cold blooded animal that is small can stay cool.
If respiration in a small mammal were studied at both room temperature 21?
Mammals maintain a set body temperature (except during hibernation). The heat flux in the cooler room would be higher. To maintain the body tempperature with the higher heat flix, the consumption of calories would be higher and the respiration higher to maintain the conversion of food to CO2. The following would have to be included in the calculation to quantify heat flux: * Radiant energy losses * Convective heat loss * Evaporative heat loss * Heat loss to breathing, feces and urine * Changes in insulation (fluffing of fur in the two cases) Consideration would also have to be made for changes in room temperature or room temperature control including air movement.
