Which physiological response helps maintain core temperature when a mammal's subcutaneous fat provides insufficient insulation in -20°C conditions?

💡 Explanation

Shivering thermogenesis causes muscles to rapidly contract, which dissipates energy into heat, because ATP hydrolysis increases metabolic rate; therefore the body warms itself, rather than vasodilating or sweating which would lose heat.
