Question

Why is respiration considered an exothermic reaction?

Answer 1

Because heat is released in the form of energy
c6h12o6+6o2 + 6h2o -------- 6co2+12h2o+energy

Answer 2

Carbohydrates present in food are broken down to form glucose. This glucose combines with Oxygen in the cells of our body and provides energy. This reaction is known as respiration. Hence, respiration isconsidered as an exothermic reaction.
