why respiration considered as exothermic process? explain
Answers
Answer:
An exothermic reaction is a reaction in which energy is liberated out.
Respiration is considered as exothermic reaction because energy is released in this process.
Glucose combines with oxygen present in our cells to form carbon dioxide and water along with energy
C6H12O6 + 602 ----> 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy
or
respiration is considered as exothermic reaction because energy is produced during this process.
during respiration glucose combine with oxygen in cells of our body to form carbon dioxide and water along with the production of energy.
Explanation:
An exothermic process is that process which releases heat.
When we exhale and put our hand in front of our nose or mouth, we feel warm air coming out. So, respiration is an exothermic process. Also, our body is always warm (except you are dead), and the air is coming out of this warm body, so respiration is exothermic.
