average body temperature was higher in the warmer microhabitat‚ and lower in the cooler microhabitat‚ which supports our hypothesis. Under the tree branches‚ the peeps were exposed to increased convection and decreased radiation. At the base of the tree‚ the peeps were exposed to increased radiation and conduction. Introduction: Habitat temperature differences are a major focus in ecology because it impacts the organism’s ability to perform tasks. Biophysical ecology involves the behavior and morphologies

external environment by radiation‚ conduction‚ convection and evaporation of water. These are all physical mechanisms known to the human body. (Vander‚ Sherman & Luciano 1998). Radiation is an infrared energy between two objects that have no physical contact with each other. Heat is gained by radiation from the sun‚ hot sand on the beach and hot coal. Heat can also be lost as radiation to cool vegetation‚ water in the sea and snow on the ground. (Seeley‚ Stephens & Tate 2002). Conduction is the exchange

would exhibit lower body temperatures than those residing on banks alongside streams due to convection of the moving water. The results of this experiment indicated a significant difference between body temperatures of the model turtles in each microhabitat. The temperatures of the samples in the stream were significantly lower than those of the samples on the bank. These results indicate that the convection from the moving stream waters provide effective means for lowering body temperature in ectotherms

Qtot also increases but only to a certain point. When the airspeed is greater than 2m/s the Qtot value decreases. The air is cooling the cylinder. The air velocity affects the radiation and convection. The convection decreases as the airspeed increases but radiation increases. The speed of the air increases the radiation due to the passing air and that it is at room temperature (large temperature difference)‚ as soon as the air heats up it has already been replaced with room temperature air.

Introduction: The regulation of body temperature is called thermo-regulation. It is the ability of any organism to maintain the temperature of its body at normal level even when the temperature of the external environment is fluctuating. The normal temperature of the body of humans is approximately 37◦C or between the 98◦F-100◦F and it is called its core body temperature. This core temperature usually remains the same within a very short range of variations. This core temperature only

Chemical Reactions The idea of chemical reactions was investigated about two hundred and fifty years ago‚ when a man named Antoine Laurent Lavoisier wanted to know about the importance of chemical changes. Also‚ in the 19th century‚ John Dalton made the atomic theory. Dalton said that bonding atoms together makes new substances‚ which is a chemical reaction (History of chemical reactions). The definition of chemical reaction is‚ “the processes in which substances undergo chemical changes‚ which

Heat and Temperature Heat is often described by the average individual as being the change in temperature from hot to cold. “Often the concepts of heat and temperature are thought to be the same‚ but they are not.” Heat and Temperature‚ para. 2) Perhaps the reasoning behind the incorrect reasoning is that humans associate the two together because when heat is applied to an object the temperature rises. The kinetic theory of matter better explains the underlying cause as to what takes place
