Question

Hey @Abhisar

Could you help me?

Rate of heat loss from a mammal can be described by the equation dH/dT = C x (Tb-Ta). Heat
loss can be reduced by minimising C. This can be achieved by
a) Avoidance – migrate, seek shelter, exploit microhabitat
b) Insulation
c) Local heterothermy
d) activation of brown fat

Answer 1

I would say d is not correct

Answer 2

Why ?

Answer 3

because b is correct?

Answer 4

because d requires a lot of energy (is expensive and not very favorable)?

Answer 5

and insulation, as I understand, is like hair/fur to prevent heat loss?

Answer 6

Well C is specific heat capacity.

Answer 7

I think you are correct, option b is the only which makes sense.

Answer 8

thank you!
