Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Elephant has the lowest metabolic rate of oxygen consumption (mm3/g hour).
Detailed explanation-2: -Shrews (genus Sorex, small insectivorous mammals) are well known for their extremely high basal metabolic rates (BMRs) even when corrected for their small body size.
Detailed explanation-3: -RMR per minute is calculated using the following equation: VO2/min × Thermal Equivalent. The thermal equivalent is a value derived from your averaged respiratory exchange ratio that expresses the kilocalories burned per liter of oxygen consumed.
