give the word equation to prove that heat is produced during respiration
Answers
Answer:
Heat is produced during the process of cellular respiration. ... The complete formula for the cellular respiration is as follows: Glucose + Oxygen = Carbon dioxide + Water + Energy.
Explanation:
Experiment to Prove that Heat is Evolved during Respiration
Requirements: One Thermo flask, some germinating Gram seeds and a thermometer.
Procedure: Some germinating gram seeds are taken in the Thermo flask and closed its mouth tightly with a cork. A thermometer is introduced through the cork so that its bulb rests among the gram seeds. Note the mercury reading of the thermometer.
Observation: After some time an increase in the reading of mercury in the thermometer will be observed.
Conclusion: Rise of mercury indicates the rise of temperature. And this temperature is produced by the respiration of the germinating seeds.
