11.   So to maximise the benefits to your metabolic rate, resolve never to crash diet again.

12.   There is some evidence that we can further increase the metabolic rate by taking regular aerobic exercise.

13.   Varanus can also increase its metabolic rate, like mammals but often more effectively.

14.   ...people who have inherited a low metabolic rate.

15.   Your metabolic rate is the speed at which your body transforms food into energy.

16.   The low rate in sloths is probably associated with their lower metabolic rate and daily lowering of body temperature.

17.   A feature that characterizes all anteaters, whether marsupial, monotreme or placental, is an extremely low metabolic rate.

18.   The metabolic rate is the rate at which their chemical fires burn, most easily measured as the blood temperature.

19.   There is a tendency for metabolic rate to depend on body size in mammals generally.

20.   Smaller animals tend to have higher metabolic rates, just as the engines of small cars tend to turn over at a higher rate than those of larger cars.
