Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sweating helps lose heat from the body through evaporation. As sweat evaporates from the skin, it takes heat with it, cooling down the body. Radiation, conduction, and convection are other ways in which heat can be lost from the body, but sweating specifically utilizes evaporation as the mechanism for cooling. Choice E, concentration, is not relevant to this process.
