Animals can generate heat internally though shivering or by normal muscular activity, but losing heat is dependent on being in the 'right' environment. If the temperature and humidity is too high then the organism will over heat from it's own metabolism and die.

How can heat or cold affect rosacea?

Limiting exposure of the face to excesses of heat and cold can also help. A sunscreen with a skin protection factor (SPF) of 15 or greater used daily


What does entothermic mean?

Of or relating to an organism that regulates its body temperature largely by exchanging heat with its surroundings; cold-blooded.


How does heat affect the heat?

The greater the amount of energy in the weather system the more violent the storms and the greater the variation in weather patterns (hotter hotseasons, colder cold seasons wetter wet seasons dryer dry seasons etc.)


Does a cold blooded organism have cold blood?

cold blooded is a bit misleading. A cold blooded creature can't heat the blood by itself, so it will take on the temperature of the surroundings. If it needs to be warmer, it will look for sun, if it wants cooler, it'll look for shade,


Why do we feel hot and cold sensations?

It's a survival mechanism. Extreme heat, e.g. fire, and extreme cold, e.g. ice, can be fatal to humans. So nature has equipped us to feel sensations, ranging from discomfort to pain depending on the intensity of the heat or cold, in order to warn us of the potential threat. People who have impaired sensitivity in their fingers or toes (maybe due to a medical problem like diabetes) have to be very careful because they are at greater risk of burns as they cannot feel when things become hot.


Is it true that a hotter object always has a greater amount of heat than a cold object also give example?

yes it is true


Wet or dry organism lose heat quickly?

If organisms are wet they may tend to lose heat more quickly. The dry organism is more likely to such up the heat and maintain the heat within the organism.


What is an example of an exothermic organism?

Hi. Around the deep water vents exist organisms that thrive in the heat of super heated water. But any cold blooded creature is exothermic. Snakes are a good example. They control there body heat by using an external heat source. Sunlight by day and warm surfaces by night. An exothermic organism is cold- blooded and it's body temperature shifts depending upon the temperature of it's surrounding environment, for example a fish. An endothermic organism is a warmblooded organism that maintains a certain temperature inside the body no madder what its surrounding environments temperature is, for example humans.


What are the sources of heat in an organism and how do they contribute to its overall temperature regulation?

The sources of heat in an organism come from metabolic processes, physical activity, and the environment. Metabolic processes, such as digestion and cellular respiration, generate heat as a byproduct. Physical activity, like muscle movement, also produces heat. The environment can provide external sources of heat, such as sunlight. These sources of heat contribute to the organism's overall temperature regulation through a process called thermoregulation. The organism's body can adjust its metabolic rate, blood flow, and behavior to maintain a stable internal temperature, known as homeostasis. For example, when the body gets too hot, it can sweat to cool down, or when it gets too cold, it can shiver to generate heat. This balance between heat production and heat loss helps the organism maintain a constant body temperature despite changes in the external environment.


What is the relationship between cold and heat, and how can we define cold as the absence of heat?

Cold and heat are related in that they are both forms of thermal energy. Heat is the presence of thermal energy, while cold is the absence of heat. Cold can be defined as a lower level of thermal energy compared to heat.


IF an organism has very think fur how would this help it to live in the tundra?

Thick fur helps insulate the organism, keeping them warm in the cold tundra climate. This insulation reduces heat loss and helps them conserve energy. The fur also provides protection from the harsh weather conditions and wind chill.


Do cold things have heat?

No, cold things do not have heat. Heat is a form of energy that is transferred from hot objects to cold objects. Cold objects have less heat energy compared to hot objects.
