Respiration – The energy required by our body to stay energetic is provided by the food which we eat.

Explanation:

  • Through digestion, food particles are broken down into simpler substances. For example rice, potatoes, wheat, etc all includes carbohydrates.
  • These carbohydrates are broken down into simpler substances called glucose. The glucose on burning with oxygen gives CO2 gas, H2O and develops heat. This reaction is called Respiration.
  • It is a very special form of burning fuel. It involves the burning of sugar with oxygen within the cells of every living organism, to create the energy essential for all the reactions of life along with water and carbon dioxide as waste products.
  • Respiration is another exothermic reaction.
