Which outcome occurs when a hibernating groundhog's core heats?

💡 Explanation

Thermogenesis is activated after slight warming; Uncoupling Protein 1 uses the proton gradient for heat, rather than ATP, because shivering is metabolically costly. Groundhogs arouse for short intervals; therefore, heat production reduces dependence on fat, rather than extended torpor.
