Question

why is respiration considered an exothermica reaction?​

Answer 1

carbohydrates present in food broken down to glucose. This glucose combines with oxygens in cells of our body and provides engery.This reaction is known as respiration hence, respiration is considered as an example of exothermica reaction

Answer 2

Answer:

Exothermic Reaction:-

• The Reaction in which heat is given out along with the products is called Exothermic Reaction.

• In exothermic reaction carbohydrates are broken down to form glucose.
• These glucose combines with oxygen in the cells of our body and us energy.
• During the process of respiration, organic compounds such as glucose are broken down to provide energy in form of ATP.
• ATP is used to provide energy for other reactions in the cell.
• Respiration may be aerobic or anaerobic.
• Aerobic respiration makes more energy available to the organism.

Therefore Respiration is considered as Exothermic Reaction.

Chemical equation:-

C6H12O6(aq) 6O2(aq) → 6CO2(aq) + 6H2O(l) + energy
