Which outcome occurs when a marine mammal has diminished adipose (fat) layers during intense muscular activity?

💡 Explanation

Convective heat loss increases because diminished adipose layers impair insulation, thus enhanced vasodilation releases more heat into the surrounding water. This occurs especially after exertion causing extreme heat production, therefore less insulating fat leads to more significant unregulated transfer, rather than the conservation seen in controlled heat exchange.
