State
Metabolic rate is the energy an animal expends over time, measured as basal rate at rest in endotherms and standard rate at rest in ectotherms.
Show
A smaller endotherm has a higher BMR per body weight than a larger one, losing heat faster through its surface area.
Watch for
BMR measures a resting baseline — active metabolism runs at a multiple of it.
