Why does a rat need more oxygen then a frog?
Rats have a higher metabolic rate than frogs.
How much does a bird have to eat each day?
There is no set amount of food that all birds must eat in a single day. Bigger birds need more food than smaller birds.
Are legendary birds better than dogs?

Are birds more related to lizards than turtles?
In terms of lineage, yes. Birds are descended from dinosaurs, which, along with lizards, belong to a group of reptiles called diapsids. Turtles come from a separate group of reptiles called anapsids.
Does the Blood that is pumped from the heart to the lungs through the pulmonary artery have more carbon dioxide or more oxygen?
More oxygen, for the pumped blood circle through the body and the body consumes more oxygen and carries more oxygen than it carries carbon-dioxide.
Why is oxygen more important than the other elements?
Oxygen is what humans breathe in. We need it to be alive.
Why does some birds have bigger wings than other birds?
They have bigger bodies and need more power to fly.
What causes heart rate to accelerate?
The heart beats accelerates because your organs need more oxygen and the heart pumps the oxygen into the blood and when you need more oxygen than normal your heart rate is faster than normal.
Are there more silicon atoms than oxygen atoms in the silicon-oxygen tetrahedron?
This is the SiO4 anionic group. Thus, the answer you need would be that there are more oxygen atoms.
Are there more birds than animals?
Birds are a type of animal, therefore there are more animals than birds.
Why do birds need a four chambered heart?
A four-chambered heart prevents oxygen-rich blood from mixing with oxygen-poor blood and therefore ensures more efficient circulation than a three-chambered heart. Efficient circulation of blood is necessary for an animal with high metabolic needs. Birds have high energy requirements because they are warm-blooded and move mostly by flying.
Which one of your organs do not need oxygen?
ALL of the the organs in the human body need an oxygen supply. This even includes the organs responsible for delivering oxygen to the rest of the body: the heart and lungs. Every organ requires oxygen. All that can be said in this case is that some organs use/need more oxygen than others. For instance, the brain needs/uses more oxygen than the spleen.
Why do mammals need more oxygen than reptiles?
Mammals maintain a higher body temperature. In order to do so, they require more energy and that requires more oxygen.
Which gas do microbes need in a compst heap?
oxygen, but more than anything .... love
Can plants live with an atmosphere of solely Carbon Dioxide?
No, plants need oxygen for respiration during the dark phase of photosynthesis. They produce more oxygen than they use but, they still need to have oxygen.
Why does a mammal need more oxygen than a reptile of the same size?
Yes, mammals have a 4chambered heart, while reptiles only have a 3chambered heart.
Why does a rat need more oxygen then a frog?
Rats have a higher metabolic rate than frogs.
