Which outcome predictably occurs when marine mammal core temperatures drop rapidly?

💡 Explanation

Reduced core temperature triggers shivering thermogenesis, increasing skeletal muscle activity, resulting in elevated ATP consumption, because it needs energy to generate heat; therefore, ATP demand rises, rather than decreases which would indicate different conditions and mechanisms.
