An ecotone can be a narrow or wide area of the ecostyem. It is considered a zone of tension. The word âecotoneâ was derived from the word ecology and the Greek word tonos, which means tension.The ecotone often shares many of the animal and plant species that both areas contain but it is also unique because it is the blending of two distinct areas.
Whenever you talk about metabolism, the topic of building muscle always crops up. It maybe because we always hear that muscle is the most metabolically active tissue in the body. If you really want to increase your metabolic rate, you should know what does the trick. Metabolic rate is determined by the amount of fat-free mass in you body.
BUILD UP YOUR MUSCLES: âThe more Â­muscle tissue you have, the higher your basal metabolic rate will be,â says Dr Nicola Lowe, senior lecturer in nutrition at the University of Â­Central Lancashire. âMuscle tissue is metabolically active and uses energy even at rest, whereas adipose (fat) tissue does nothing at rest. Muscles move, requiring energy, while fat is just storage.â. So increasing muscle tone, through exercise such as weight-lifting, will dramatically increase your metabolism.
