Respiratory System Anatomy. The cells of the human body run on oxygen much like a car runs on gas. There are parts of the cell called mitochondria that use the oxygen to generate ATP, the energy currency of cells.
The lowest possible temperature, or absolute zero as it is called, is -459.67Â°F (-273.15Â°C). It is also called 0 kelvin, a scale with increments equivalent to degrees of Celsius, but which uses absolute zero rather than water's freezing point as its starting point. This is the point at which all atomic motion ceases.
It is commonly thought of as the lowest temperature possible, but it is not the lowest enthalpy state possible, because all real substances begin to depart from the ideal gas when cooled as they approach the change of state to liquid, and then to solid; and the sum of the enthalpy of vaporization (gas to liquid) and enthalpy of fusion (liquid to solid) exceeds the ideal gas's change in enthalpy to absolute zero.
