A calorimetar is an object used for calorimetry, or the process of measuring the heat of chemical reactions or physical changes as well as heat capacity.
Cellular respiration is a set of metabolic reactions and processes that take place in the cells of organisms to convert biochemical energy from nutrients into adenosine triphosphate, and than release waste products.
The similarity between the two can be seen into the measuring and conversion of energy.
