Respiration, which put simply is the reaction of oxygen and glucose to form water anc carbon dioxide, releases energy.
Because heat is given out, not taken in, thus its 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.
Yes, respiration is a exothermic reaction and just like the suns heat energy atmosphere also store the energy released by respiration.
The control of an exothermic reaction is more difficult and accidents are possible.
In respiration of animals glucose molecules breaks up releases amount of energy heat is given out thats why it is exothermic.but in plants it absorbs sunlight heat is used for preparing food so it is endothermic.
Exothermic reaction
in respiration energy is released so it is a exothermic reaction.
Respiration is considered as exothermic reaction because during the process,oxidation of glucose takes place which generates large amount of heat energy.
An exothermic reaction is one in which heat or energy is released, and that occurs in respiration. That is how the body uses respiration -- to get energy. If it were an endothermic reaction we would need to put energy into the process and not get energy out.
Yes, photosynthesis is endothermic. The chlorophyll and pigments in the plant absorb the light energy from the sun's rays, as endothermic reaction is that in which energy is absorbed.
Exergonic reactions are chemical reactions in which energy is released as heat.
It is called cellular respiration (oxidation of carbohydrates), and the process is known as metabolism.
C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6H2O + 6CO2 This is an exothermic reaction (ie a reaction that produces energy)
... is an exothermic reaction (opposite of 'endothermic')
It is called an exothermic reaction. Example: a burning candle
Yes, respiration is a exothermic reaction and just like the suns heat energy atmosphere also store the energy released by respiration.
The control of an exothermic reaction is more difficult and accidents are possible.
Heat is released during an exothermic reaction.
