← Nature & AnimalsWhich process triggers increased mitochondrial UCP1 production during arousal from hibernation?
A)Non-shivering thermogenesis activation✓
B)Adipocyte proliferation inhibition
C)Kidney urea transport reduction
D)Muscle glycogen depletion exhaustion
💡 Explanation
Activation of non-shivering thermogenesis increases UCP1, uncoupling the mitochondrial proton gradient, boosting heat production; this warms the hibernating animal. Therefore, UCP1 generation spikes to raise body temperature, rather than suppressing fat or altering muscle action, because controlled temperature changes dictate arousal.
