metabolic rate

1.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应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。

2.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，即使进入期与亚成体段，仍持续快的证据，暗示这些动物具有相对高的基础代谢率。

3.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状态下没有新陈代谢，实际上它还是有0.1%的新陈代谢，表现出来的状态是假死状态，而不是真正的死亡状态。
