When reptiles grow new teeth?

Reptiles continuously grow new teeth throughout their lives, a process known as polyphyodonty. As one tooth becomes worn out or lost, new teeth emerge from dental lamina or tooth germs to replace them. This allows reptiles to maintain a functional dentition for feeding and survival.


how do warm blooded animals lose energy?

Warm-blooded animals cannot be too small; otherwise, they will lose heat faster than they can produce it. This energy produced by warm-blooded animals mostly comes from food. Food represents stored chemical energy (potential energy), which is converted into other forms of energy within the body when the food is metabolized.


Do raccoons lose baby teeth?

Somewhere around five months they lose their baby teeth.


What features allowed the reptiles to be so successful in dry environment?

Reptiles have evolved features such as scaly skin, efficient kidneys, and amniotic eggs, which help them conserve water and thrive in dry environments. Their ability to regulate body temperature by basking in the sun also allows them to adapt to arid conditions. Additionally, their slow metabolism helps them survive in environments where food and water may be scarce.


Are cows endothermic?

Yes. Elephants maintain a constant body temperature like other mammals. They generate heat from their food. Of course they also need to cool down sometimes as they live in such hot places. This is why they have big ears. Blood circulates through them so it can lose heat to the surroundings.

How does the rat lose heat?

The way all other mammals do.


What organs keep reptiles warm?

Reptiles can't keep warm all by themselves. They are ectothermic which meens they are cold blooded. That meens that they need the sun or somthing elses heat to keep warm. Whatever their surrounding climates temperature is is what the reptiles temperature is. They will lose energy and may die in the cold.


What happens to the energy you lose?

usually dissipated as heat.


How is heat energy lost from an object?

There are three ways to transfer heat energy (conduction, convection, radiation); any of the three can occur, for an object to lose heat energy.


When a solid melts does its particles lose its heat energy?

No. They gain.


Does your body gain or lose thermal energy if your body temperature is 37 degrees C and the temperature around is 25 degrees C?

Heat will naturally flow from hotter objects to colder objects. If heat flows OUT OF your body, you will LOSE that heat energy (thermal energy).

Why does iguanas body temperature at the end of the day drops?

Iguanas are cold blooded reptiles. Without light/sun, they lose body heat.


How do mammals increase heat loss from their bodies?

Mammals lose heat because they are often warmer than their surroundings, it is a law of thermodynamics that heat flows from warm to cool.


In what type and what is the amount of energy our body losses as a waste of heat?

I don't know how much but we lose heat as sweat.


Why might potential energy not equal the amount of kinetic energy at the end of a reaction?

Heat lose (usually friction).
