E)blubber or fat layer

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nonshivering thermogenesis is a mechanism that increases the rate of heat production within an animal's body, rather than reducing the rate of heat exchange with the environment. This adaptation is used by some species to generate heat when external temperatures are low. Therefore, it is not an adaptation for reducing heat exchange, making it the correct answer.
