Which outcome occurs owing elevated skin temperature through vasodilation during mammalian hibernation emergence?

💡 Explanation

When skin temperature increases due to vasodilation during hibernation emergence, the increased heat accelerates metabolic enzyme activity because reaction rates are temperature-dependent. Therefore, accelerated enzyme activity results, rather than insulation, reduced nerve velocity, or decreased glucose uptake which involve energy conservation mechanisms.
