Which outcome results when a hibernating marmot's uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) malfunctions?

💡 Explanation

Less heat is produced by the marmot because UCP1 mediates non-shivering thermogenesis in brown adipose tissue. Because UCP1 facilitates proton leak across inner mitochondrial membrane, therefore energy is released as heat, rather than ATP; blood glucose regulation depends on other pathways.
