Humans and some other animals use evaporative cooling to help regulate body temperature. Which statement regarding evaporative cooling is true? Evaporative cooling is possible because of the high heat capacity of liquid water. Evaporative cooling has a cost: the organism must ingest water and ions that are lost during sweating. Body temperature decreases during evaporative cooling because the water molecules with the greatest kinetic energy leave. the surface of the skin.

It is estimated that you lose heat to cold water four times faster than to cold air. Your body is mostly water. What if your body had much less water in it, and the rest of it consisted of substances that heated and cooled as easily as metal. Would a cold environment be more chilling or not? Explain.
Countercurrent heat exchangers are more useful for ectotherms to allow their body temperature to match the environment endotherms to allow the body's core temperature to remain stable endotherms to allow their extremities to remain at an elevated body temperature in the cold poikilotherms that need to have different body temperatures ectotherms to permit them to maintain constant body temperature
Define Evaporative Cooling. How Evaporative Cooling contributes to Life.
Which statement regarding thermoregulation is TRUE? ectotherms thermoregulate by moving between sunny and shady locations whereas endotherms do not thermoregulate endotherms thermoregulate by producing heat through metabolic reactions whereas ectotherms do not thermoregulate ectotherms and endotherms both thermoregulate, but they do it through different methods
A fish swims from a body of cool water into a body of warm water. As its body temperature rises, its rate of O2 consumption increases. The warm water, however is likely to have a lower concentration of dissolved O2 than the cool water because the solubility of O2 in water decreases as temperature increases. These two factors taken together, an increase in the fish's rate of O2 consumption and a decrease in the dissolved O2 concentration of its environmental water, can make it difficult for the fish to obtain enough O2 to meet its needs. The two factors can act as a two-pronged trap. Actually, however, the fish may face a three-pronged trap. How is the increase in temperature likely to affect the O2 affinity of the fish's hemoglobin, and how could the effect on hemoglobin add even further to the challenge the fish faces? Does global warming pose concerns of this sort?
Aerobic exercise causes your cells to produce carbon dioxide and water. Why can you dehydrate during aerobic exercise even if you don’t perspire?
In a hot, dry desert a person can lose lots of water through sweating, but show no visible signs of sweating. One problem is that people may not realize how much water they are losing through sweating. Why is it important to drink plenty of water under hot, dry desert conditions even when you do not feel like or realize you are sweating much? Beside dehydration, you should explain why the human body will overheat if unable to sweat under very hot and dry conditions.
Holding one's breath can result in an increase in CO₂(g) concentration in the blood. How would this affect the pH of the extracellular fluid? The pH increases. The pH decreases. The pH does not change appreciably.
Anhidrosis causes a person to not sweat. This person then builds up a lot of heat. What special property of water is responsible for cooling someone down due to sweating?
Water concentration in the body is critical for properfunctioning. A person’s body retains very tight control onwater levels without conscious control by the person. Whichorgan has primary control over the amount of water in thebody?
Describe the feedback process that would occur if you drank far more water than your body needed.
During exercise the blood can become acidic. The carbonic acid (H2CO3)/bicarbonate ion (HCO3-) blood buffer system stabilizes blood pH inhibiting blood acidification. Which buffer action inhibits acidification of blood? Group of answer choices H2CO3 ionizes donating a proton to the blood. H2CO3 accepts a proton from the blood. HCO3- ionizes donating a proton to the blood. HCO3- accepts a proton from the blood.
