← Nature & AnimalsWhich consequence results when a marmot's hibernation den floods?
A)Increased body temperature and arousal risk✓
B)Decreased metabolic rate and torpor sustenance
C)Enhanced anti-predator alertness efficiency develops
D)Triggered cellular protein disruption is stimulated
💡 Explanation
Flooding causes increased thermal conductance leading to increased thermogenesis via shivering. Therefore, the marmot's body temperature elevates raising the risk of arousal, because more energy is spent, rather than continued torpor maintenance with suppression of warming processes.
