The cold-blooded animals need to bask in sunshine before they can move as quickly as warm-blooded animals on a cold day because it increases their rate of metabolism.
<h3>What are cold-blooded animals?</h3>
Cold-blooded animals are those animals that are not able to regulate and maintain their internal body temperature when there is change in the external environment.
Example of cold-blooded animals are snakes and turtles. They expose themselves to sunlight to help them with their body metabolism.
Therefore, the cold-blooded animals need to bask in sunshine before they can move as quickly as warm-blooded animals on a cold day because it increases their rate of metabolism.

This process is referred to as Ammonification, I believe, basically this allows Nitrogen to be in the appropriate form for plants to absorb it.
<h2>The given statement is true</h2>
Explanation:
Iron absorption occurs in the duodenum and upper jejunum of small intestine
- At physiological pH ferrous iron is rapidly oxidized to the insoluble ferric form
- Gastric acid lowers the pH in the duodenum which enhances the solubility and uptake of ferric iron
- Once iron gets inside the enterocyte it can be stored as ferritin;Ferritin is a hollow spherical protein which helps in storage and regulation of iron levels within the body
- Ferritin molecule have ferroxidase activity which helps in the mobility of Fe2+ out of the enterocyte by ferroportin
- Transferrin is the major iron transport protein which transports iron through blood
- Fe3+ binds to transferrin so Fe2+ transported through ferroportin must be oxidized to Fe3+
- Fe2+ needs to be oxidized first so that it can be transported through ferroportin
- Once iron gets inside the cell it can be used for various cellular processes
