How does body size affect heat loss in mammals?
The more fat that there is on an animal the more heat it will be able to store, because the fat and blubber trap in heat.
Why does ear size affect heat loss?
Blood flowing through a large, thin ear is close to the outside air and can lose heat rapidly to the air. The larger the ear, the larger the heat loss.

Why does your breasts get smaller when you exercise?
Breast size will only potentially decrease from exercise if there is fat loss. Breasts are mostly fatty tissue. Exercise sometimes decreases body fat, decrease in body fat may in turn reduce breast size. If the exercise does not incur fat loss, breast size will not be reduced by it.
Please help with this GCSE pe question list 6 effects of the aging process which takes place from your mid-twenties onwards?
Decrease in muscle mass and strength. Slower metabolism leading to weight gain. Reduction in bone density, increasing risk of osteoporosis. Decrease in cardiovascular fitness and lung function. Decline in flexibility and joint mobility. Changes in hormone levels affecting energy levels and recovery times.
What is the relationship between size and being coldblooded or warm blooded?
The ratio of a body to it's mass is less the larger the animal is. A warm blooded animal that is big can generate more heat than a smaller animal. The heat loss from their bodies is proportional to the surface of their bodies, and the heat created by their bodies is proportional to their mass. A cold blooded animal that is small can stay cool.
What are weight loss body wraps?
Weight loss body wraps are another name for body wraps which incite lymphatic drainage and help the body to rid itself of toxins. As you get older (and larger) your fat cells often grow to several times their initial size and become bloated. Weight loss body wraps can help your cells to shrink back to their normal size through a series of treatments. During the course of using weight loss body wraps, the fatty acids retained in your fat cells are released into your capillaries as part of your body's natural waste process. This can cause you to lose several inches in a very short time.

How do killer whales keep their body heat?
A combination of size (surface area to volume) and good insulation (blubber ... fat)
How many square feet does a 120000 BTU heater heat?
Square feet has nothing to do with how much an X BTU heater can heat, heat is calculated by determining how much heat LOSS there is to make up for. AC is the exact opposite, it's size is determined by how much heat GAIN there is. In general, a 120,000 BTU boiler can heat an average well insulated 2 story house, no problem. There are many programs that calculate heat loss/gain but since there are people who do it for a living, try asking one.
