The video explores metabolism and aging, featuring Dr. Art Woods from the University of Montana. It covers the definition and trends of metabolism, the role of oxygen in energy extraction, and the unique metabolic capabilities of insects. The etymology of the word 'metabolism' is discussed, followed by a focus on temperature's impact on metabolism, particularly in polar regions. The concept of polar gigantism in marine invertebrates is examined, highlighting the effects of climate change on these organisms.
