Gselect all of the true statements regarding non‑shivering thermogenesis. without brown fat, or brown adipose tissue, it would be difficult for adults to maintain proper body temperature. in non‑shivering thermogenesis, heat is dispersed from the energy produced in electron transport. norepinephrine stimulates the hydrolysis of fatty acids, which activate the uncoupler protein. synthase can be bypassed in brown adipocytes. thermogenin decreases the proton gradient by enabling protons to reenter the mitochondrial matrix without taking part in synthesis.
