Well, room temperature can vary from 40 degrees Celsius to -40 depending on where you are, but generally ectoterms such as reptiles, amphibians and fish which rely on heat from the enviroment to power their metabolism become less metabolically active when placed in areas colder than they're adapted to. It's why there aren't that many reptiles and amphibians in polar climates, though fish are evoltuonary much more diverse and have those that are capable of living in cold waters (which still aren't frozen ice) have evolved ways to deal with it.

Particles will move more slowly at lower temperatures.


What effects would lower the temperature at absolute zero have on brownian motion?

You cannot lower the temperature if you are at absolute zero.


Why do sleeper sharks move slowly?

They typically live in lower oxygen/lower temperature environments, so their metabolism is markedly slower than most other sharks.


Why is temperature of boiling water cannot be measured using an alcohol thermometer?

Because the alcohol boils at a lower temperature than water.


Why do sleeper sharks move so slowly?

Why is it diffuclt to sweeten iced tea?

Solubility is linked to temperature of the liquor and falls sharply with temperature. Hence we see sugar dissolves quickly in hot liquor and very slowly at lower temperatures.


The range of temperature in coastal areas is lower than areas located farther in land Why is this so?

Water has a higher Specific Heat than land, so it warms up more slowly, and loses heat more slowly.


What is matter with slow moving particles?

Please clarify what you mean by slow-moving air. Do you mean an air mass that is moving slowly, or a gas particle that is moving slowly? If you mean the latter, perhaps this answers your question: for a given temperature, gas particles with less mass move faster than gas particles with greater mass. Additionally, for a given species, a lower temperature corresponds to lower particle velocity, with absolute zero corresponding to no movement whatsoever.


Taking heat out of the air will do what to the temperature?

Removing heat from the air will lower its temperature.


Use collision theory to explain why reactions should occur more slowly at lower temperatures?

Lowered temperature lowers reactants speeds, and decreased the number of low-energy collision, reaction rates decrees with a decrease in temperature.
