Gage Shea · Answer 1

Metabolic water is a water obtained from eating other organisms.

Explanation:

Water is a by product that is gained in the process of cellular respiration. In respiration process, food molecules are broken down in the mitochondria of the cell for generating energy in the form of Adenine tri phosphate (ATP). With this ATP, water and carbondioxide is also produced. Carbondioxide is removed from the body while water is used in different processes. So desert beetle takes water from eating food substances.
