What insulates against heat loss?
Thermal insulation hinders the loss of heat energy. Clothing acts as thermal insulation for human bodies. In buildings, these materials are often used as thermal insulation: plant straw, wood fiber, cellulose, polystyrene, vermiculite, urethane foam, perlite, recycled cotton denim.
What is an insulator of electricity?
a insulator of electricity is a material that insulates, especialy a nonconuctor of sound,heat,or electricity.
Injuries to tissue caused by heat contact?
burns
How does aluminum foil keep meat cold?
the aluminum insulates the heat and keeps it in there so no heat to get out if so only a little will
What keeps water hotter paper or styrofoam?
styrofoam, but warning fammable and unsafe for the environment!
What type of connective tissue insulates against heat loss?
Adipose tissue (fat) acts as an insulator.
Insulates against heat loss provides reserve fuel?
Subcutaneous fat deposits.

Would it be better to grill or braise a pece of meat that contains a great deal of connective tissue?
Braising would be better since the longer lower heat will help break down the connective tissue.
What is thermal resistivity of soils?
Resistivity is the opposite of conductivity. The thermal resistivity of soil is the degree to which soil impedes the flow of heat, or insulates against heat.
Subcutaneous connective tissue beneath the skin?
yes. it helps in homeostasis, by forming a layer of insulation to slow heat loss.
How does a sheep keep cool in summer?
The sheep's wool insulates against heat as well as against cold. If you shear sheep and put them out into hot direct sun they suffer sunstroke.
What insulates heat good?
A lack thereof is best. A vacum does not transfer heat.
Why is adipose tissue considered a good insulator?
Adipose tissue is the second type of loose connective tissue. It is loaded with fat cells. Fat cells are so full of stored fat that their nuclei and cytoplasm are pushed up against the cell membrane. Adipose tissue acts as a firm, protective packing around and between organs, bundles of muscle fibers and nerves, and it supports blood vessels. Because fat is a poor conductor of heat, adipose tissue acts as insulation for the body, protecting is from excessive heat losses or excessive heat increases in temperature.
Which layer of the skin protects the deeper tissues of the body and acts as a heat insulator?
Fat. also known as adipose tissue, is the connective tissue found in the subcutaneous layer that provides insulation.
How does double glazing reduce energy loss?
It insulates the window and keeps heat in.
Fat is the most concentrated form of --- and insulates the body from heat loss?
Energy.
