Question 14 (0.75 points) When the ambient (room)temperature is very high (i.e., 105 degrees Fahrenheit), the body will lose heat by: conduction evaporation radiation increased metabolism all of these

The correct answer is **evaporation**.<br /><br />While the body can lose *some* heat through radiation and conduction at high ambient temperatures, these methods become less effective as the temperature difference between the body and the environment decreases. When the ambient temperature is higher than body temperature, conduction and radiation would actually *add* heat to the body. Increased metabolism *produces* heat, so it wouldn't contribute to heat loss.<br /><br />Evaporation, specifically through sweating, becomes the primary means of heat loss in high ambient temperatures. As sweat evaporates from the skin, it takes heat energy with it, cooling the body.<br />
