Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Shivering is a physiological response that helps maintain the body's temperature within a narrow range, which is a key characteristic of homeostasis. A is incorrect because energy utilization refers to the conversion of food to fuel to maintain metabolic processes, which is not directly related to shivering. B is incorrect because sensitivity refers to the ability of an organism to detect changes in the internal or external environment, which is not the mechanism responsible for shivering. D is incorrect because evolutionary adaptation refers to changes in the genetic makeup of a population over multiple generations, and shivering is not an adaptation that has evolved over time.
