The answer to this question is as metabolism is a generic term for all the chemical reactions that breakdown or burn food to provide energy for the operation of an organism.The word burn is used advisely, because the energy yield from a food in the human metabolic process is comparable to energy obtained by actual combustion.The energy available from a food is commonly stated in dietary calories, and the calorie rating of a food may actually be obtained by burning it in a pure oxygen atmosphere.The metabolism of food requires a supply of oxygen and produces carbon dioxide as a combustion product.
For various food one can state a representative energy yield,an amount of oxygen required.The amount of energy produced for the types of food is roughly proportional to the amount of oxygen use,so that the metabolic rate can be measured by measuring the rate of oxygen consumption, and it is also necessary for ATP synthesis by oxidative phosphorylation in the metabolism process.
why would someone doing an experiment of metabolism will include both routine and mass specific oxygen...
what is the difference between routine oxygen consumption and mass specific oxygen consumption?
I am doing the experiment, "Determination of Specific
Heat of a Metal". I have completed the physical experiment, I just
need help filling out the last line, determining what the average
specific heat capacity of the unknown metal is. Thank you!

c mass18 In this experiment you determined the mass of oxygen that combined with a weighed mass of magnesium) by subtraction: mass of product minus mass of original magnesium = mass of oxygen that combined. As a result of this procedure, anything that was in the crucible at the end of the experiment, along with the magnesium oxide product, would cause an error in figure that is recorded as "mass of oxygen". Would extra mass in the crucible cause the...
In a endothermic and exothermic experiment, why would the specific heat be the same for all the solutions? List two reasons why values for H may have differed from the accepted values.
BIOL-211 ICA - Metabolism, Cellular Respiration and Photosynthesis 1. You are doing an experiment looking at how octopus cells change color for camouflage. The enzyme responsible for catalyzing this metabolic change has a delta G of -100kcal/mol. A) Is this a spontaneous, or non-spontaneous reaction? B) Is ATP hydrolysis necessary for this reaction to occur? Yes or No. C) If you were to add more enzyme, would the delta G be affected? Explain your answer. 2. You are performing an...
could someone please answer both of these!
