Is it true if you gain muscle you have a faster metabolism? Does that mean strength training is more important than Cardio?

Yes if you have more muscles your body burns fat at a faster rate. If you think about it, fat doesn't really burn fat, but having more muscles will help you to move more and you will likely be more active with less fat. Strength training and cardio are supposed to be intergraded into a routine, you should mix it up to keep the routine from getting stale. I wouldn't say one is more important than the other, because they both benefit you in different ways. Cardio works out your heart more than anything and weights works out your skeletal muscle. If you do only weights, you will get winded more easily and won't have as much stamina, if you only do cardio, you won't even look like you exercise at all (Not toned at all).

Exercise is important. Weight training and various muscle trainings. Proteins.

Muscle needs energy, so more muscle mens more energy burning. But strength training is not more important than cardio. It all depends on your goals. Do you want a fit body, a strong body or an explosive body? That will determine your training.

A good healthy diet will be the starting point.90% food and 10% training.
Also remember that body burns muscles before fat, so you need have the right amount food intake according to what you want to achieve.
Do both strength and cardio.
