Every organism’s cells holds the responsibility for energy exchanges that are necessary to maintain itself. Each cell in every organism accomplishes many different tasks by breaking down molecules to create adenosine triphosphate,in other words, ATP, which is used to facilitate cellular activity. Cellular respiration creates energy to power metabolism, which is essential to life. This is done by converting ADP to ATP. The process of cellular respiration in eukaryotic cells are held in the mitochondria. When an adequate amount of oxygen is obtained, glucose is oxidized in a specific sequence of steps represented in the following equation: C6 H12O6 + 6O2(g) → 6CO2(g) + 6H2O + energy The oxidation of glucose is crucial to measuring the rate of
