Heat exchange with the environment depends on the surface area-to-volume ratio of the body. Assuming that the body shape of an animal is at least somewhat spherical, a
considerable decrease in body size would
the surface area-to-volume ratio, and the ability to exchange heat with the environment would
A. increase; increase
B. increase; stay about the same
C. increase; decrease
D. decrease; increase
E. decrease; stay about the same

- Endothermic animals can maintain consistent temperature conditions by generating, main- taining, and regulating their body heat. Under cold conditions, more body heat becomes lost to the environment. Endothermic ani- mals rely on different mechanisms that allow them to maintain their body heat. Which of the following mechanisms that occur in endothermic animals does not describe a mechanism by which they maintain their body heat under these types of conditions? A B с D Some endothermic animals hibernate during extreme environmental conditions, which decreases the rate of metabolic reaction and decreases heat loss. The tissues of the blood vessels of many endothermic animals can dilate and move closer to the skin, allowing for heat to move more readily into the environment. Shivering, which can occur involuntarily in most endothermic animals, produces rapid muscle contractions, which increase the rate of cellular respiration and thereby increase heat production.
