Q

Rotifers exhibit cryptobiosis, what does this mean?

A

It is an ametabolic state that they can enter into during harsh environmental conditions. During this state all metabolic process stop, preventing reproduction, development and repair. Once the environment reaches a stable state the organism will rehydrate and resume its metabolic processes.
