Which statement below accurately describes the process of evaporative cooling?

A. Water condenses on the skin and absorbs heat from the body
B. Water on the skin evaporates into the air, pulling heat from the body
C. Skin cells absorb water into the body, which absorbs heat and cool the cells
D. Water on the skin evaporates into the air, pulling heat out of the air around the body

Respuesta :

Answer:

D.

Explanation:

Sweat is used to cool the body. The moisture on you skin evaporates which pulls heat from the body.

Answer: D. Water on the skin evaporates into the air, pulling heat out of the air around the body.

Explanation:

Water is the part of sweat. Sweat is a body fluid which is produced by the sweat glands present on the skin. Sweat is released from the skin in response to the hot and dry external environment. The water present in the sweat get evaporated by external heat. This produces a cooling effect over the surface of skin.It helps in liberating the internal heat and maintains the homeostasis (tendency of body to maintain internal environment stable with respect to the changes occurring in the external environment).
