← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome occurs owing elevated skin temperature through vasodilation during mammalian hibernation emergence?
A)Accelerated metabolic enzyme activity✓
B)Increased brown adipose tissue insulation
C)Reduced peripheral nerve conduction velocity
D)Decreased skeletal muscle glucose uptake
💡 Explanation
When skin temperature increases due to vasodilation during hibernation emergence, the increased heat accelerates metabolic enzyme activity because reaction rates are temperature-dependent. Therefore, accelerated enzyme activity results, rather than insulation, reduced nerve velocity, or decreased glucose uptake which involve energy conservation mechanisms.
