== == Keep it at a constant temp a little bit higher than you would want it when your not home. Preset it to start cooling down about an hour or so before you expect to be home. A tid bit of knowledge...... Most electric companies charge more during peak hours of usage. Make sure your house is cooler before times of peak usage. Peak usage is usually about 5pm when most people are getting off of work. EVERYONE wants their house to cool off really quickly when they get home! If your house is already cool, you won't be paying those 'peak hours of usage rates'. == ==

The most important part of heating fluid in a test tube?
maintain a consistent temperature throughout
What does the temperature have on the characteristics of magma?
Temperature, among other factors, effects the viscosity(thickness) of magma. However, for the most part, the temperature of magma is relatively consistent because magma is the type of molten rock that has not yet exited the volcano, so there are fewer factors to effect the temperature.
Are the reaction-rate changes recorded in Table 11.4 consistent with the rule of thumb concerning the effect of a 10oC temperature increase on the rate of reactions?
no
What is most important part of heating a liquid in a test tube?
Heating should be slow.The test tube should not be full.Work in a laboratory hood.
What is the process of thermostasis?
Thermostasis is the process in which animals, people, and other living organisms use to balance the heat gained and heat lost from their body. This ability allows for a consistent body temperature that is ideal for the organism's environmental needs.
Is density a consistent physical property for any one particular substance?
Density is a physical property. It is also time-consistent, but not temperature-consistent.
Why is the temperature of fish more consistent than reptiles or amphibians?
Water keeps temperature more constant.
What category of animal always maintains a consistent body temperature?
birds?
Why is it hard for the moon to hold a consistent temperature?
because the moon is cold
Will a programmable thermostat reduce your heating and cooling energy consumption?
Yes, programmable thermostats can reduce the energy used for air conditioning or heating by 5 to 30%. Programmable thermostats save money by turning the air conditioner to a higher setting (or heater to a lower setting) when no one is present in the house, or in the evenings when it is cooler. [From The Home Energy Saver a webpage from the Berkeley Lab website.] My monthly gas bill was $20/month lower after adding a programmable thermostat. I had already been turning down the heat when leaving the house, but the thermostat did it more efficiently and more regularly. My costs went up after adding a programmable thermostat, because my brother and I don't have a very consistent schedule. We would always turn up the thermostat when we left, and never forgot. Now that we have a programmable one, we don't worry about it, but since our schedules are not very consistent, the system runs a lot when we aren't there. Look into an Energex system. It solves that exact problem.

What if your body is normally 37 degrees Celsius this is an example of what?
Maintenance of a consistent body temperature is an example of homeostasis.
What is the best temperature for storage of wine that will not be opened for a while, like six months or more?
The ideal temperature to store wine is between 50 - 57 degrees. Most important is to make sure the temperature is kept at a consistent temperature.
Do body temperature of mammals change with the environment?
No, mammals can stay the same consistent temperature, and they are called warmblooded. Reptiles are coldblooded, so what the temperature is outside, that's their internal temperature too. They have to lay in the sun before their blood is warm enough so they can move.
What is the opposite of ectotherms?
The opposite of ectothermic is endothermic. Ectotherms maintain their body temperature by behavior rather than metabolism. Endotherms maintain a warm, consistent body temperature with the use of energy.
Why is the skin so important in thermoregulation?
The skin helps with homeostasis. This is basically the biological imperative of keeping different aspects of the body at a consistent temperature. It does this by reacting to the external temperature a person faces.
