← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome occurs when a groundhog commences shivering during early stages of hibernation?
A)Increased metabolic heat production✓
B)Decreased oxygen consumption rate
C)Suppressed immune system response
D)Enhanced peripheral vasoconstriction
💡 Explanation
When a groundhog starts shivering, muscle contraction increases metabolic activity because ATP hydrolysis generates heat, leading to a rise in body temperature. Therefore increased heat production results, rather than suppressed oxygen consumption, or vasoconstriction, both which counteract effective thermogenesis.
