metabolic rate

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.

可能是不充足睡眠导致本应该在睡眠过程中消耗卡路里（热量）受到了影，导致体重增加。

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段，仍持续快速生长证据，暗示这些动物具有相基础代谢率。

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状态下没有新陈代谢，实际上它还是有0.1%新陈代谢，表现出来状态是假死状态，不是真正死亡状态。
