Yes, it is purely chemical.
To put it simply:
carbohydrates (in body) with oxygen (inhaled) become carbon dioxide (exhaled) and water (exhaled and excreated). These are all different chemical substances, so this is a chemical change.
(There are also other types of respiration, even without oxygen, but they all are chemical!)
What else can I help you with?
Is respiration endothermic?
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.
What is the name for the chemical equation to cellular resipration?
Aerobic cellular respiration is a combustion reaction.
What type of reaction involves oxygen and produces light and heat decomposition reaction double replacement reaction combustion reaction or combination reation?
The type of reaction that involves oxygen and produces light and heat is a combustion reaction.
What kind of reaction is 2C2H6 7O2 g 4CO2 6H2O?
A combustion reaction
Which equation represents a combustion reaction?
A combustion reaction is a reaction that burns. The equation that represents a combustion reaction is CH4 + 2O2 reacts to yield CO2 + 2H2O.
Give one way that combustion and respiration are the same?
burning of fuel are the good example of combustion and respiration
Why could respiration be called 'slow combustion'?
Respiration is the process of turning inhaled oxygen into exhale carbon dioxide and creating energy. This is a very similar reaction to that of combustion. When a hydrocarbon burns, such a natural gas or methane (CH4), it combines with oxygen, producing CO2 and water. The definition of combustion is a reaction in which something is oxidized in an exothermic reaction, and that is exactly what happens in respiration.
Why do people compare combustion to respiration?
People compare combustion to respiration because both processes involve the chemical reaction of fuel with oxygen to release energy. In combustion, this energy is released as heat and light, while in respiration, it is used to generate ATP for cellular functions. Both processes produce carbon dioxide as a byproduct.
Is respiration endothermic?
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.
What is the name for the chemical equation to cellular resipration?
Aerobic cellular respiration is a combustion reaction.
How combustion is used?
Yes, the combustion of coal or other fossil fuels, wood, etc. (oxydation reaction) is an exothermic reaction, releasing heat.
What is the difference between respiration and combustion?
Respiration is the process where living organisms convert glucose into energy in the presence of oxygen, producing carbon dioxide and water as byproducts. Combustion is a chemical reaction where a substance rapidly reacts with oxygen, producing heat and light energy along with carbon dioxide and water vapor in the case of organic materials. Respiration is a controlled process in living organisms, while combustion is a rapid and uncontrolled process.
If you say 'oxygen gas supports combustion' are you talking about a chemical or physical reaction?
Combustion is a hemical reaction.
How combustion formed?
Combustion is a an oxydation reaction, a reaction with oxygen.
What is a property of a combustion reaction?
A combustion reaction is an oxidation reaction - combustion need oxygen; the products are water and carbon dioxide.
What type of reaction involves oxygen and produces light and heat decomposition reaction double replacement reaction combustion reaction or combination reation?
The type of reaction that involves oxygen and produces light and heat is a combustion reaction.
What equations represent a combustion reaction?
Combustion (burning) is an oxidation reaction.
