Having a slow metabolic rate helps turtles by allowing them to stay under water for longer periods of time. The slower metabolic rate also allows turtles to require less frequent feedings.
by beeing slow
No, it is not true that slower moving animals have slower metabolic rates. Infact , animals with small bodies have higher metabolic rate.
it is actually a race between the turtle and the hare, sloths and turtles are pretty much alike, but a turtle would have to be much slower.
because snail has a very slow metabolic rate
No, fever actually increases the metabolic rate of the body as it tries to fight off the infection. This increased metabolic rate is part of the body's response to produce more white blood cells and antibodies to combat the illness.
Eating a lot of fats and sugars, or having a slow metabolic rate
Koalas have a slow metabolic rate which is required for them to digest the eucalyptus leaves on which they feed. Eucalyptus leaves are very fibrous and rather low in nutrition, so the fact that the koala has a slow metabolic rate means it can keep the food within its digestive system for as long as possible in order to maximise the energy that can be extracted from the leaves. This slow metabolic rate also means the koalas sleep for more time each day in order to conserve energy.
As long as they have just had a large meal, and slow their metabolic rate, then yes.
There is no drug in gum (eucalyptus) leaves. Koalas have a slow metabolic rate which is required for them to digest the eucalyptus leaves on which they feed. Eucalyptus leaves are very fibrous and rather low in nutrition, so the fact that the koala has a slow metabolic rate means it can keep the food within its digestive system for as long as possible in order to maximise the energy that can be extracted from the leaves. This slow metabolic rate also means the koalas sleep for more time each day in order to conserve energy.
you are as slow as a turtle
The koala's body temperature is lower than that of other mammals their size because of their low metabolic rate. This slow metabolic rate is required for them to digest the eucalyptus leaves on which they feed. Eucalyptus leaves are very fibrous and rather low in nutrition, so the fact that the koala has a slow metabolic rate means it can keep the food within its digestive system for as long as possible in order to maximise the energy that can be extracted from the leaves.
Turtle's don't move
