The emissivity of the human skin is 97.0 percent. Use 35.0 °C for the skin temperature and approximate the human body by a rectangular block with a height of 1.92 m, a width of 39.0 cm and a length of 28.5 cm. Calculate the power emitted by the human body. Tries 0/12 What is the wavelength of the peak in the spectral distribution for this temperature? Tries 0/12 Fortunately our environment radiates too. The human body absorbs this radiation with an absorbance of 97.0 percent, so we don't lose our internal energy so quickly. How much power do we absorb when we are in a room where the temperature is 26.0 °C? Tries 0/12 How much energy does our body lose in one second?

Why do unsaturated fats remain liquid at room temperature?

Their rigid structure prevents their interaction with adjacent molecules to form a solid.

The glycerol in unsaturated fats keeps the fatty acids fluid and prevents formation of solid form.

Their structure causes kinks in their conformation, which prevents close packing into a solid form.

The glycerol in unsaturated fats causes kinks in its structure, which prevents it from forming a solid.
