3 0

Metabolism can be described as the chemical process that involves the breakdown of food consumed to give energy which can be used to carry out activities by living organism. The consumption of oxygen can be adopted as a means to estimate the metabolic rate because oxygen is required for synthesis of ATP  ( Adenosine Tri-Phosphate) through oxidative phosphorylation. Also, it is important for fermentation to occur as well as helps in replenishing low level of glycogen
