← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome results when a hibernating groundhog's muscle glycogen stores are depleted as environmental temperatures suddenly drop?
A)Significant shivering initiates rapid ATP replenishment✓
B)Brown fat catabolism causes sustained ATP replenishment
C)Vasodilation promotes glucose absorption directly
D)The heart rate maintains steady metabolic pacing
💡 Explanation
Groundhogs initiate shivering thermogenesis because muscle glycogen depletion limits brown fat activity; shivering produces metabolic heat therefore shivering must drive glucose mobilization rather than brown fat catabolism.
