When you workout and produce sweat, it results in a loss of calories from the body. If there is an evaporation of one liter of sweat, there would be 600 calories that will be removed or expended from the body.

May be used to calculate the amount of energy expended by the body?
Oxygen consumption
Does respiration use oxygen?
If by respiration you mean cell respiration, then yes oxygen is consumed in the process of cell respiration. As a matter of fact, oxygen is the last electron acceptor in the electron transport chain, the last stage of cell respiration. In cell respiration, you produce ATP, which is essentially used by your body to get energy. That is why you need oxygen! !!
What is used to calculate the amount of energy expended by the body?
When a person is placed on a treadmill and connected, by special breathing tubes, to measuring equipment it is the rate-of-consumption of Oxygen that is being examined. The amount of caloric consumption is also reflected by the [measured] rate of CO2 production and exhalation.
How does energy pass from the sun to the rice?
It happens by photosynthesis, in which carbon dioxide from the air is separated out into carbon, which is used to make the rice, and oxygen, which is mostly dumped into the atmosphere. Separating the carbon and the oxygen needs energy to break the chemical bonds between the atoms. That energy is recovered when the carbon is burned with oxygen, but that produces carbon dioxide as well, approximately as much as was absorbed in the first place.
How do Echinoderms get their energy?
Echinoderms get their food and oxygen for energy. They ues tube feet to obtain oxygen from the water.

How many kilojoules are used for every one liter of oxygen consumed?
For every one litre of oxygen used, approximately 21 kJ (approximately 5Kcals) of energy is expended. Ref. Clinical Exercise Prescription, Fitness Institute Australia (c) 2008

How much oxygen is consumed in forming iron rust?
Technically, all of the oxygen in the air is consumed when forming iron rust. Air is approximately 20 percent oxygen, and that entire amount is consumed when forming iron rust.
What substance are produced and consumed in photosynthesis?
Oxygen+glucose are produced, CO2+water+ the energy from the sun light are consumed
What are two indicators that a combustion reaction has occurred?
energy is released and oxygen is consumed
Why is oxygen necessary as you exercise?
As muscles work harder and more energy is expended, oxygen demand rises. As a result, you breathe harder, increasing the rate and depth of respirations and, thus, take in more oxygen.
How does exchange of nutrients and oxygen with waste and carbon dioxide take place in the capillaries?
Pure diffusion ... everything flows from high concentration toward low. No energy is expended in these exchanges.

Is oxygen released when you burn things?
No. Oxygen is consumed.
