← Nature & AnimalsWhich thermoregulatory challenge arises due to disrupted hibernation cycles?
A)Increased non-shivering thermogenesis demand✓
B)Vasodilation in peripheral blood vessels
C)Suppressed hypothalamic temperature setpoint
D)Reduced brown adipose tissue activity
💡 Explanation
Increased energy consumption appears when awakening early because thermogenesis rapidly activates, and the animal requires much higher metabolic rates when not at a hibernatory depressed level; rather than vasodilation, vasoconstriction occurs during hibernation to conserve core temperature.
