metabolic rate

So evidence of sustained rapid growth, even into late juvenile and subadult stages, implies that the animals in question had relatively high basal metabolic rates.

所以，即使进入幼年晚期与亚成体阶段，仍持续快速生长的证据，暗示这些动物具有相对高的基础。

It is possibile that reduced slumber affects the number of calories burned while at reast( basal metabolic rate) and translates into weight gain over time.

可能是不充足的睡眠导致本该在睡眠过程中消耗的卡路里（热量）受到了影响，因而导致体重增加。

Although I have said that the water bear does not undergo any form of metabolism during cryptobiosis, it actually has a metabolic rate of 0.1%, rendering it almost dead, but yet, not dead.

尽管我刚才说过水熊在隐生下没有新陈，实际上它还是有0.1%的新陈，表现出来的是假，而不是真正的亡。
