Gce Model Questions Vol1 2024 Biology Question 40
Practice objective / multiple choice question 40 from the 2024 Gce Model Questions Vol1 Biology examination.
A person at rest has a metabolic heat production of \(80\ \text{W}\). The overall heat transfer coefficient between the body and the environment is \(10\ \text{W m}^{-2}\text{°C}^{-1}\) and the body surface area is \(1.8\ \text{m}^{2}\). The ambient temperature is \(20\ \text{°C}\) and the initial core temperature is \(37\ \text{°C}\).\n\nDuring vigorous exercise the metabolic heat production rises to \(500\ \text{W}\). Assuming the heat transfer coefficient and surface area remain unchanged, calculate the increase in core temperature after \(10\) minutes. The body's heat capacity is \(3500\ \text{J °C}^{-1}\). Give your answer in degrees Celsius to one decimal place.
