← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome occurs when a small mammal's shivering thermogenesis capacity is exceeded in a hyper-cooled artificial burrow?
A)Increased cellular osmotic pressure
B)Rapid core temperature decline✓
C)Increased respiratory alkalosis rate
D)Stabilized brown adipose activity
💡 Explanation
Core temperature declines because shivering thermogenesis reaches its metabolic limit, therefore additional heat production stalls, rather than maintain constant internal conditions below the thermal neutral zone caused by heat transfer.
