Question

Why is respiration an exothermic reaction?

Answer 1

During respiration glucose molecules are converted to other molecules in a seiries of steps.they finally end up as carbon dioxide and water.the reaction is exothermic because the C=O and O-H bonds in the products are so much more stable than the bonds in the rectants.hope it helps.please mark as brainliest

Answer 2

During respiration, glucose molecules are converted to other molecules in a series of steps. They finally end up as carbon dioxide and water. The reaction is exothermic because the C=O and O-H bonds in the products are so much more stable than the bonds in the reactants.
