Question

All else being equal, as compared to an organism with a lower surface-area-to-volume ratio, an organism with a higher surface-area-to-volume ratio would likely have less difficulty maintaining a constant internal environment. lose more heat to the environment in cold environments. have greater thermal inertia. lose less heat to the environment in cold environments.

Answer 1

lose more heat to the environment in cold environments

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because as an animal have large surface area, it is exposed largely and prone to loss of heat. The larger the size of an animal, the larger the surface area and volume. It's surface area expose the tendency for the animal to sweat alot , through sweating heat is loss to the environment. In cold environment, the animal try to maintain internal homeostasis and through this heat is generated and loss to the environment.
