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.

How does the thickness of loft insulation affect heat loss?
the thicker the insulation is then there will be less heat loss. The material also affects heat loss
What is the heat escape lessening position h.e.l.p designed to prevent?
The loss of body heat when in the water
What is the significance of uncoupling proteins in adipose tissue?
increased loss of body heat
Does temperature affect heat loss in water?
Yes, it does.
What factors affect the loss of heat from a liquid?
true
What is the fastest method of body heat loss?
In high temperatures there are several methods of body heat loss. One is metabolic heat loss, which is where the metabolism of the body produces heat which is increased in higher temperatures, this in turn produces heat loss. There is heat exchange which is where body heat is lost when making contact with a cooler object. Also conductive heat exchange allows the body to lose heat as coming cool, like water or air, move around the person. The body also uses radiant heat exchange which is where the blood is sent to the superficial arteries and veins to let off heat. Finally there is evaporative heat loss which is of course when a person sweats and as that sweat evaporates it takes body heat with it, thus in turn cooling the body down.
What is the balance between the heat loss and the heat produced by the body?
the right side
How colours affect heat loss?
blue blue blue
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.
What is the heat escape lessening designed to prevent?
the loss of body heat when in the water
The loss of body heat by conduction can be enhanced by?
Convection
What is the Heat Escape Lessening Posture designed to help?
the loss of body heat when in the water.
