Which outcome results when a hibernating groundhog's muscle glycogen stores are depleted as environmental temperatures suddenly drop?

A)Significant shivering initiates rapid ATP replenishment
B)Brown fat catabolism causes sustained ATP replenishment
C)Vasodilation promotes glucose absorption directly
D)The heart rate maintains steady metabolic pacing

💡 Explanation

Groundhogs initiate shivering thermogenesis because muscle glycogen depletion limits brown fat activity; shivering produces metabolic heat therefore shivering must drive glucose mobilization rather than brown fat catabolism.
