Question

An individual with more body fat will have a harder time maintaining a steady internal body temperature in cold weather due to the fact that fat does not have much of a blood supply.
Group of answer choices

True

False

Answer 1

False.

While it is true that body fat has a lower blood supply compared to muscle tissue, fat serves as an insulating layer that can help retain body heat in cold weather. Individuals with higher body fat may generally find it easier to maintain their internal body temperature in cold environments due to this insulating effect. Therefore, the statement is not accurate.
