I WONDER - What Happens To Animals When They Hibernate? Me Pregunto - Qué Les Sucede A Los Animales Cuando Hibernan?

Hibernation involves a significant reduction in an animal's metabolic rate, allowing it to conserve energy. This process leads to a decrease in heart rate, respiratory rate, and body temperature, helping the animal survive periods of scarce resources.

What is a key characteristic of hibernation in animals?

• Increase in heart rate

• Increase in body temperature

• Decrease in metabolic rate

• Increase in metabolic rate

How does hibernation help animals survive?

• By conserving energy

• By migrating to warmer areas

• By increasing their food intake

• By increasing their activity levels

Which of the following is NOT a result of the slowdown in bodily processes during hibernation?

• Decrease in heart rate

• Increase in respiratory rate

• Decrease in body temperature

• Decrease in metabolic rate

What happens to an animal's heart rate during hibernation?

• It decreases

• It fluctuates randomly

• It increases significantly

• It remains the same

Which bodily function is affected by hibernation, leading to a decrease in temperature?
