also in freezing condictions why can a duck use its carbohydrate stored supply faster in cold condictions? Is it because its the carbohdrats are easier to break down in cold condictions?

yeah the wording (expect spelling mistakes) is correct.
studying respiration at the moment
is it by n e chance the bonds in the sugar are weaker at lower temp>?
The purpose of studying ducks in cold conditions is to understand how they adapt and survive in extreme environments. This information can also be applied to other species and help inform conservation efforts.
Carbohydrates are the main source of energy for ducks in cold conditions. They are broken down into glucose, which is then used to fuel the duck's metabolism and maintain body temperature.
Yes, ducks do require a higher intake of carbohydrates in cold conditions. This is because their metabolism increases to maintain body temperature, and they need more energy to sustain this higher rate.
Ducks typically consume complex carbohydrates, such as grains and seeds, in cold conditions. These provide sustained energy and are more easily digested than simple carbohydrates.
If a duck does not have enough carbohydrates in cold conditions, it may experience a decrease in body temperature, which can lead to hypothermia and ultimately death. It may also have lower energy levels and struggle to maintain its normal activities and behaviors.
