Question

Assertion: Respiration in living being is called exothermic reaction.
Reason: Respiration in living being involved with absorption of heat energy?

Answer 1

Assertion true reason false

Answer 2

The assertion that,respiration in living being is called exothermic reaction is completely true.

- When the carbon dioxide gas is expelled from the body during the respiratory activities,a significant amount of heat energy is also expelled from the body at the same time.

- This heat generation makes the respiration an exothermic process.

On the other hand,

The reason that respiration in living being involved with the absorption of heat energy is completely false.

- As mentioned above,the heat energy is generated by the respiration process makes the respiration process an exothermic process.

And an exothermic process will never absorb heat energy.
