Question 16

(Multiple Choice)

A mouse is sitting in the sun. Solar radiation provides a net intake of energy of 30 milliwatts per minute, and infrared radiation provides an additional net input of 8 milliwatts per minute. Conductive and convective outputs are a combined 55 milliwatts per minute. There is no detectable change in heat from evaporation. Assuming that the mouse is maintaining a constant temperature, how much heat must it be generating per minute?


A) 17 milliwatts
B) 25 milliwatts
C) 33 milliwatts
D) 38 milliwatts
