← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome primarily occurs during basking behavior because of increased vasodilation within a cold iguana?
A)Accelerated radiative heat absorption✓
B)Decreased metabolic ATP production
C)Reduced cutaneous evaporative cooling
D)Increased internal organ heat dissipation
💡 Explanation
Iguanas basking in the sun experience accelerated radiative heat absorption because vasodilation increases blood flow to superficial skin layers. This improves iguana solar energy absorption, therefore heat energy flows into the skin, rather than being deeply shielded.
