← Nature & AnimalsWhich process triggers heat production when bats arouse from torpor?
A)Skeletal muscle shivering thermogenesis✓
B)Increased renal water reabsorption
C)Elevated cutaneous evaporative cooling
D)Enhanced hepatic glucose synthesis
💡 Explanation
Shivering thermogenesis increases heat production due to rapid muscle contractions releasing energy because skeletal muscles contract; therefore shivering increases metabolic rate rather than evaporative cooling which dissipates heat.
