b. synaptic terminals
c. dendritic region
d. synapse
e. cell body
15. Compared with a smaller cell, a larger cell of the same shape has ________.

16. Which principle of heat exchange is the most important explanation for why birds look larger in
colder weather because they fluff their feathers?
a. Fluffing feathers results in less cooling by radiation because feathers emit less infrared
radiation than other tissues do.
b. Fluffing decreases the amount of heat lost by conduction when the bird makes contact with
cold objects in its environment.
c. Fluffing decreases the surface-area-to-volume ratio, thus decreasing the amount of heat
lost to the environment.
d. Fluffing creates a pocket of air near the bird that acts as insulation.

c. Hornets are ectotherms but honeybees are endotherms.
d. Honeybees can use evaporative cooling to reduce their body temperature.
e. Honeybees are more sensitive to high temperatures than hornets.
