Fur can hold a layer of air around it.That layer act as an insulator.So it reduces heat loss.

Why is the rate of heat loss greater in a small animal than a large one?
bigger animals has more body fat to insulate themselves........
Parts of rainforests are being eliminated at a fast rate The loss of the rainforest biome means?
the loss of plants important in developing new medicines.
How the rate of respiration controlled by the animal organism?
Breathing is the mechanical procedure in which air reaches the lungs. The rate of respiration is controlled by a respiratory center in the brain stem that responds to changes in the hydrogen ions and carbon dioxide in the blood.
Do most types of organisms evolve at about the same rate?
There is no rate to evolution. Evolution is simply the following of natural selection within an environment. natural selection is like survival of the fittest. A mutation in the organism is caused which can start the natural selection process for that organism. If that organism is able to survive better with that mutation then the trait is passed down and slowly evolution takes place. The only way for evolution to happen at the same rate of another organism is if the organisms rely on each other and one goes through a change. The other dependent species will have to also go through an alteration in order to be able to survive. hope this helps!
Duck egg incubation?
It is unlikely you can salvage the hatch once the incubator fails unless you can bring the eggs back up to ideal temperature quickly. A cooling down of more than 6 hours will severely affect the hatch rate. You could supplement the temperature loss with heat lamps temporarily but replacement of the incubator or the thermo-wafer is recommended.
What does an insulator do to the rate of heat transfer?
It reduces the rate of transfer.
Why metabolic rate reduces after food?

How the surface area affects heat loss?
Heat loss of water: The surface area effects the the rate of heat loss because the rate of heat loss increases if the surface are is higher. How: The water is spread out into a bigger space meaning the
The rate of heat loss from the hot cup change during the experiment answer?
The rate of heat loss from the hot cup decreased during the experiment.
What is the basic function of insulation?
Heat insulation reduces the rate of heat flow. Sound insulation reduces the amplitude of the sound energy transmitted through a cavity.
What is cooling rate and how is it measured?
it is the rate of heat loss in an element... it can be measured by a thermometer. hope this helps! :)
How does loft insulation save heat energy?
Heat always flows from a warm region to a cooler region. An uninsulated house loses heat at a faster rate during cold climates than an insulated one. Insulating a loft reduces the amount of heat loss from the roof by means of installing insulating materials such as fiberglass matting, which reduce the U-value of the loft. The U-value provides an indication of how much heat loss occurs from an area, the higher the U-value, the greater the heat loss.
Why camel has a thick layer of fur on the upper surface?
Camels have thick far to prevent the strong rays of the sun from hitting their skin directly. This in turn reduces the rate of water loss from their skins, as it reduces the rate of sweating.
What is the effect of foaming in fermentation?
foam reduces the heat transfer rate and aeration rate in any of the aerobic reactions as it is vital for cells to grow..
What is adiabatic rate?
the rate of cooling that occurs when dry air rises without gain or loss of heat
Why was double glazing invented?
Double glazing has two main advantages over single glazing. Firstly, it reduces noise from outside, but it also reduces the heat transfer rate. The air gap between the panes acts as a very good insulator, reducing the rate at which heat can escape.
What is dry adiabatic rate?
the rate of cooling that occurs when dry air rises without gain or loss of heat
