Would an obese person be more or less sensitive to temperature change?
They would be more sensitive to heat and less to cold. The fat in your body acts as a 'coat' or jacket would. Imagine wearing heavy coat in the summer.
Why did heat kill Griffith's S bacteria?
Heat killed S bacteria in Griffith's experiment was because of the temperature of the heat. The heat was high enough to kill many things like proteins and enzymes, so the bacteria could not create endospores to harm the immune system.
What instrument measured heat?
A calorimeter measures heat. In contrast, a thermometer measures temperature.A thermometer bolometer - an instrument that measures heat radiation; extremely sensitive calorimeter - a measuring instrument that determines quantities of heatHeat is measured with a ThermometerThermometerThermometer or calorimeterThermometerthermometerHeat is measured with a thermometer.
Does black ink radiate heat more quickly then white paper?
Yes black ink radiates more heat than white paper. This is because more heat is absorbed by black ink more than white paper and it is required to radiates more heat due to its heat capacity
Why is it important to know heat can move?
The proper flow of heat is essential to many process and situations. Flow of too much heat from a person may cause hypothermia and death. Inadequate flow of heat from a person in the Summer may lead to heat stroke and death. Many processes require cooling and/or heating by heat flow. Inadequate heat transfer may limit a process or require shutdown of a process.
How does alcohol cause heat stroke?
alcohol causes dehydration which makes you more vulnerable to heat stroke
Are you more sensitive to heat after having heat exhaustion?
I believe that I had a mild heat stroke and went undiagnosed by the doctor that I saw. 4 years after my incedent and during, I get a rapid heart beat, nervous, and have to take deep breathes to catch my breathe. I avoid doing work outside during summer heats.
Is heat wave and heat stroke the same?
no. a heat wave is weather, a heat stroke is a health condition.
Would an obese person be more of less sensitive to temperature change?
In general : less sensitive to cold, but more sensitive to heat. It has to do with the insulating properties of fat, and surface to volume ratios.

What heat emergency would you apply cool packs to the neck and groin and armpits?
Heat Stroke
How do you make thermometers sensitive?
You may increase the heat transfer rate to make it more sensitive to environment such as introducing air flow through thermometer in case of measuring air temperature. It can also design thermometer to be more sensitve with better heat sensitive material and thinner insulation wall. Introducing medium into contact surface (such as oil or water in thermowell) would speed up heat trasfer and make it more sensitive to temperature change.
What do you call a heat attack?
A heat stroke.
Is the iPod Touch heat sensitive or touch sensitive?
The iPod Touch has a heat sensitive screen. If you touch one with cold fingers it will not work.
How serious is heat stroke?
Heat stroke can be life threatening and because the percentage of victims dying from heat stroke is very high, immediate medical attention is critical when problems first begin.
