Textbook Question
Chapter 2, Problem 43CT
Sarah is quite proud of her slender, model-like figure and boasts that she doesn't have an “ounce of excess body fat.” Lauren, in contrast, is grossly overweight. She complains of feeling hot most of the time, and on a hot day she is miserable, Sarah generally feels chilled except on very hot days. Explain the relative sensitivity to environmental temperature of these two women on the basis of information you have been given in the Organic Compounds section of this chapter.
