← Nature & AnimalsWhich consequence occurs when prolonged muscle inactivity exacerbates hypothermia?
A)Reduced adaptive thermogenesis capacity✓
B)Decreased evaporative cooling efficiency
C)Elimination of brown adipose tissue
D)Increased metabolic detoxification pathway
💡 Explanation
Reduced adaptive thermogenesis capacity occurs, triggering reduced heat production because muscle inactivity limits shivering thermogenesis, rather than increased heat dissipation; therefore, less heat is generated, rather than anabolism. Shivering provides metabolic heat in cold.
