← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome occurs when a hibernating mammal's core temperature drops severely, triggering intensive muscle contractions during arousal?
A)Rapid ATP hydrolysis increases body heat✓
B)Metabolic suppression reduces shivering output
C)Adipose tissue solely provides thermal protection
D)Vasodilation directly conserves core warmth
💡 Explanation
Rapid ATP hydrolysis increases body heat through the mechanism of shivering thermogenesis, because muscle contractions increase metabolic rate and resultant thermal energy; therefore, body temperature elevates, rather than suppressed metabolism or vasodilation achieving warmth differently.
