The Exchange of Thermal Energy Between an Animal and Its

Question

The exchange of thermal energy between an animal and its environment can occur by
A)conduction and convection.
B)radiation.
C)evaporation.
D)all of the above

Accepted Answer

Thermal energy exchange can occur through conduction (direct transfer of heat from a warmer object to a cooler one), convection (transfer of heat by the movement of a fluid, such as air or water), radiation (transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves), and evaporation (transfer of heat through the conversion of water from liquid to gas). Therefore, all of the above choices are correct.
