What is the chemical reaction that releases energy in the human body?
It is called cellular respiration (oxidation of carbohydrates), and the process is known as metabolism.
Why is the conversion of ethanol to ethnoic acid an oxidation reaction?
* To be an oxidation reaction electrons have to be lost. * Any reaction that results in electrons being lost can be described as an oxidation reaction.
What identifies an oxidation-reduction reaction'?
An oxidation-reaction involve a transfer of electrons.
Is oxidation endergonic?
Oxidation is an exergonic reaction.
Which reaction are of oxidation reaction and are of exothermic nature?
These are not mutually exclusive. A reaction can be oxidation and exothermic. Oxidation reactions involve a change in oxidation state (charge) which is interpreted as a loss of electrons. Exothermic reactions release heat energy.
What kind of reaction occurs when a molecule of glucose reacts with oxygen to give carbon dioxide and water?
Respiration.
Why is respiration an exothermic reaction?
Respiration is considered as exothermic reaction because during the process,oxidation of glucose takes place which generates large amount of heat energy.
What is the chemical reaction that releases energy in the human body?
It is called cellular respiration (oxidation of carbohydrates), and the process is known as metabolism.
What is fermentation the opposite of?
There is no opposite or reverse reaction, but fermentation is an anaerobic process, one not requiring oxygen. The aerobic equivalent would be respiration (oxidation).
Which describes an oxidation reaction that occurs during cellular respiration?
Glucose lose electrons and hydrogen to form Carbon dioxide
What occurs at the cathode of a galvanic cell?
An oxidation half-reaction
Process that requires oxygen?
Aerobic Reaction. Respiration is an example of aerobic reaction, and is common to living organisms such as humans and plants. Anaerobic respiration can be found in certain types of bacteria.
What type of respiration are carbon dioxide water and energy the products of?
The process of (aerobic) cellular respiration combines a carbohydrate with oxygen to release energy. This oxidation reaction is the "reverse" of photosynthesis.
Why is the conversion of ethanol to ethnoic acid an oxidation reaction?
* To be an oxidation reaction electrons have to be lost. * Any reaction that results in electrons being lost can be described as an oxidation reaction.
What identifies an oxidation-reduction reaction'?
An oxidation-reaction involve a transfer of electrons.
What are the effects of oxidation reaction daily life?
Fuels burning is an oxidation reaction.
A reaction in living things that turns sugar and oxygen into carbon dioxide energy and water.?
The respiration process and it is called also oxidation or burning process.
