Passage VII

Figure 1 shows how, on average, internal head temperature and skin temperature affect heat production (in calories per second, cal/sec) in humans.

Figure 2 shows how, on average, infernal head temperature and skin temperature affect evaporative heat loss (heat lost through the evaporation of perspiration) in humans.

40. Based on Figure 1, if an individual has an internal bead temperature of 36.8°C and a skin temperature of 29°C, the individual's beat production is most likely closest to which of the following?

Answer and Explanation

Your Answer is

Correct Answer is F

Explanation

Look at figure 1, the abscissa is 36.8°C, the corresponding ordinate heat production in the range of skin temperature 28-30°C is about 20-35, so F option 30 fits this range
