← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome occurs when skinks exhibit shivering thermogenesis in cold environments?
A)Increased body heat production occurs✓
B)Decreased metabolic rate takes place
C)Reduced oxygen consumption is triggered
D)Vasodilation prevents thermal regulation
💡 Explanation
Shivering thermogenesis increases heat production because the rapid muscle contractions involved in shivering increase their metabolic activity; therefore, body temperature increases, rather than decreases from a lower metabolic rate.
