Document Summary
Changes in rates of enzymatic reactions and other chemical reactions. Physical damage from protein denaturation or boiling. **maintenance of a constant body temp depends on this equation: define bmr (4) What are the outcomes between a small and large animal relative to summer and winter conditions (6) Smaller animals have greater sa with their comparatively decreased body weight. Advantage for small animals in hot weather (summer) as they have more sa to loose heat and cool off. Esa is the sa over which heat can be lost or gained. Give an example of a low and high conducting material (6). What is the surface area per kg difference and how does this affect body heat loss (a=0. 15w^0. 56: body weight (kg) surface area (m^2) When body weight doubled, sa does not double as well. The higher sa to volume ratio = greater heat loss.
