Igcse Model Questions Vol1 2025 Biology Question 8
Practice objective / multiple choice question 8 from the 2025 Igcse Model Questions Vol1 Biology examination.
A resting adult produces metabolic heat at a rate of \(100\ \text{W}\). In a cold environment the heat loss by convection from the skin can be approximated by \(Q = hA\,(T_{\text{body}}-T_{\text{env}})\) where \(hA = 5\ \text{W/°C}\). The body temperature is \(37\ \text{°C}\) and the ambient temperature is \(-5\ \text{°C}\). How many watts of additional heat must be generated by shivering to keep the body temperature constant?
