👉 Physiolater is a term used in medicine to describe an organism that has a high degree of metabolism. It refers to organisms with a high rate of energy expenditure, which can lead to a state of hypoxia (low oxygen levels) and require supplemental oxygen for survival. Physiolaters are often found in environments where there is little or no oxygen, such as deep-sea or cold-blooded animals that have adapted to low-oxygen conditions.
