Heat Cooling Heating Describe Explain Ways Transferred Organism

Heat transfer between an organism and its environment occurs through latent heat of evaporation, radiation, convection, and conduction.

Lämmönsiirto tapahtuu haihtumisen latenttilämmön, säteilyn, konvektion ja johtumisen kautta.

Front Describe and explain 4 ways that heat is transferred between an organism and their environment.
Back Transfer of heat:
  • Latent heat of evaporation - cooling as water evaporates
  • Radiation - transmission of EM waves
  • Convection - heating and cooling by currents of air/water
  • Conduction - heating as result of collision of mols
