Summary Introduction

Introduction: The metabolic rate is defined as the quantity of energy that is used in a unit of time. In endothermic animals, the metabolic rate is high. The energy rate used per gram of mass is inversely associated with the size of the body. Mostly, ectotherms gain heat from the environment. The metabolic heat is used by the endotherms to maintain their body temperature.
