← Nature & AnimalsWhich process dictates an awakening grizzly bear's body temperature?
A)Non-shivering thermogenesis in brown fat✓
B)Cutaneous vasodilation of peripheral blood
C)Evaporative cooling via panting
D)Increased metabolic rate via shivering
💡 Explanation
Non-shivering thermogenesis dictates core temperature because brown fat mitochondria contain thermogenin uncoupling oxidative phosphorylation, therefore, less ATP is produced, rather than shivering which increases mechanical activity, not core temperature directly.
