← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome predictably occurs when marine mammal core temperatures drop rapidly?
A)Increased ATP demand by shivering thermogenesis✓
B)Decreased metabolic rate through torpor onset
C)Enhanced blubber insulation effectiveness occurs
D)Vasodilation counteracting heat loss occurs
💡 Explanation
Reduced core temperature triggers shivering thermogenesis, increasing skeletal muscle activity, resulting in elevated ATP consumption, because it needs energy to generate heat; therefore, ATP demand rises, rather than decreases which would indicate different conditions and mechanisms.
