← Nature & AnimalsWhich effect arises from increased adenosine levels in hibernating mammal brown fat cells?
A)Reduced oxygen consumption decrease heat production✓
B)Enhanced triglyceride esterification increase white fat
C)Increased mitochondrial biogenesis sustain activity
D)Elevated uncoupling protein-1 enhanced pH gradient
💡 Explanation
Adenosine, accumulating during torpor/hibernation, signals brown fat cells to reduce activity and oxygen consumption through cellular signaling, therefore reduces heat production by those cells; it does rather than stimulating mitochondrial activity.
