3 0

Metabolism can be described as the chemical process that involves the breakdown of food consumed to give energy which can be used to carry out activities by living organism. The consumption of oxygen can be adopted as a means to estimate the metabolic rate because oxygen is required for synthesis of ATP  ( Adenosine Tri-Phosphate) through oxidative phosphorylation. Also, it is important for fermentation to occur as well as helps in replenishing low level of glycogen

Animals within all niches have molars. What does this mean about how animals eat?
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

Explanation:

Molars are primarily used for grinding food. They are flat and located in the back of the mouth. They are for eating plant based material, so the animals in the niche eat plants, they are primarily herbivores.

Canines on the other hand, are the sharp pointy teeth located on the front side of the mouth. They are used for tearing flesh and meat. Animals such as canines, felines, and reptiles have these because they are primarily carnivores.

I hope this helped, have a good day :)))
