    The metabolism of an organism represents all bodily chemical reactions to intake, actions, etc (Reece, et al. 2011). Metabolism is often referred to as the energy of life, since it is either acting to conserve or expel energy of an organism. This can be measured mathematically through a series of experiments. Examples of metabolism are differences of the heart rate from caffeine and ethanol. By understanding the topic, it can be proven that these drugs affect organisms in a certain way, such as the
