Question

Humans can lose,but cannot gain,heat through the process of
A)conduction.
B)convection.
C)radiation.
D)evaporation.
E)metabolism.

Accepted Answer

Evaporation is the process by which humans can lose heat, as sweating cools the body through the conversion of sweat into water vapor. Conduction, convection, and radiation are all processes by which heat can be transferred or gained, but not specifically lost by humans. Metabolism can generate heat, but is not a process by which heat is gained or lost.
