Answer:
One method used by newborn mammals to generate heat is referred to as nonshivering thermogenesis. This method utilizes a protein channel called <u>thermogenin</u> which is present in high levels inside the mitochondria of <u>brown adipose tissue.</u>
Explanation:
Thermogenin forms a proton channel in the inner mitochondrial membrane in the brown adipose tissues. Most of the newborn mammals have these brown adipose tissues. In these tissues, the oxidation of nutrients do not produce ATP but generate heat. The heat is used by the newborn to maintain the warmer body temperature. The process is called nonshivering thermogenesis.
The correct answer is B. Hypothalamus.
Explanation
The hypothalamus is a part of the brain that is located below the thalamus, it is an area of the brain where several and very important homeostatic regulatory functions of the organism are integrated. Its main function is to link the autonomic nervous system with the endocrine system. Other functions are to control body temperature, control thirst and urine production (water balance in the body), control food intake, control uterine contractions and milk ejection in mammals, the coordination of the nervous system Autonomous, which affects smooth muscle and cardiac activity, influences behavior and expression of emotions. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Hypothalamus
