Question

When mammals get an infection, their internal body temperature often rises 2 to 3 degrees Celsius. The body gets the energy it needs to react to an infection by

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is increasing the rate of cellular respiration in mitochondria.

Explanation:

In mammals like humans, the infection causes a rise or hike in the body temperature of an individual up to 2 - 3 degrees Celsius. Infection results in thermoregulation strategies control by the hypothalamus, of the host by immune system transmitted integration signals, hormonal and neuron lead and increase in metabolic reactions by the increase the rate of the cellular respiration takes place in the mitochondria and that elevate body temperature. Mitochondria releases energy in the form of ATP that helps in body temperature as it is an exothermic reaction.

The correct answer is increasing the rate of cellular respiration in mitochondria.
