Question

The metabolism of an organism can slow down or speed up, depending on the immediate needs of the organism. For example, your metabolism will increase when you exercise because your body needs more energy. True or false?

Answer 1

Answer: Broadly speaking, metabolic rate refers to how quickly fuels (such as sugars) are broken down to keep the organism's cells running. There are general differences in metabolic rate among species, and the environmental conditions and activity level of an individual organism will also affect its metabolic rate. So true I think.

Explanation:

It's in the answer.

Answer 2

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The metabolism refers to the process taking place in humans which provide energy for living. The metabolism of people may differ from person to person that is some people will have high metabolism whereas some people will have a slow metabolism. This difference in metabolism is genetic and is inherited.

But the metabolism can be temporarily shifted to high to slow and slow to high through the exercise and physical activity. If we exercise daily, then the consumption of the energy automatically increases thus the slow metabolism shifts to high metabolism.

Thus, true is correct.
