List four ways in which aerobic is like burning?
- Oxygen needed; - Exothermic reaction; - Produces Carbon Dioxide and water - It requires a continuous supply of oxygen and fuel to sustain itself - the fuel being glucose. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The previous answer is spot-on but since it was flagged, I'll just add an example to help clarity. Let's look at a general equation for aerobic respiration: C6H12O6 + 6O2 ---> 6CO2 + 6H2O It becomes clear that this is also a combustion (burning) reaction. We need O2 for it, see the left-side of the equation. It produces energy - we can see this intuitively since burning things gives us heat and eating C6H12O6 (Glucose, a sugar) gives us energy. The equation shows us it creates CO2 and H2O, which all combustions do. And yes, O2 and the fuel (C6H12O6 in this case) are needed in continuous supply for this to continue occurring. For the sake of comparison, here is a balanced equation for the combustion of Methane gas, like on a gas cooker. See the similarities! CH4 + 2O2 ---> CO2 + 2H2O
What 2 things are needed for every experiment?
you need the list of the materials and the report.
Why is data and facts important in science?
Data, raw information, is needed to answer any question. Facts, things proven to be true, are needed to answer any question.
What 3 things do you need to know to decide which placards if any are needed?
oxidizer flammable dangerous
Definition of integrated science?
Integrated Science is the study of biology, anatomy, chemistry, earth/solar system, ecology, genetics, and physics. These topics are integrated, showing how all things work together to sustain life.
What 3 things are needed for combustion to occur?
the organic (or certain inorganic) compounds oxygen (generally excess) heat
What causes an increase of speed in a combustion reaction?
There are three things needed for combustion: heat, oxygen, and fuel. After the reaction has started, the production of heat may fuel the reaction, making it self sustaining.
What is the internal combustion engine needed for?
The internal combustion engine is used in almost everything that needs power or motive traction. Cars, trucks, motorcycles, boats, ships, aircraft, and many other things use internal combustion engines. The internal combustion engine is needed to convert fuel chemical energy to rotational mechanical energy, which can now be used for many different applications.
How living things breathe?
Using a simple vacuum. When the lugs expand they free up space which pulls in oxygen needed to sustain brain activity.
Why can you light up a candle with a fart?
3 things are needed for combustion... air, fuel, and a source of ignition. seems you're lacking a source of ignition.
How does gold sustain itself?
Gold is a pure element, it is inanimate, it does not need to sustain itself, only living things need to do that.
What everyday things involve combustion?
Car engine
What are the main components needed to insure ecosystem stability?
Ecosystems remain stable when all their features are in balance. It needs to be able to sustain all the living things that rely on the ecosystem to survive and thrive.
Why does a woman need energy?
Any body and every body needs energy to sustain life. If there was no energy in the body; one could not do things. And if one cannot do things then they are not able to sustain their life.
Why do things catch fire?
Fire needs three things to start and sustain itself... fuel (matter), Oxygen and heat. Take away one of the three and no fire. The amount of energy needed to start something on fire is known as it's flash point.
What are some specific producers?
Generally producers aren't animals. They will be things like trees or grass. they sustain themselves and are eaten by consumers, whom can't self sustain.
What is the difference between respiration and combustion?
combustion is a burning of carbohydrate molecule in the presence of oxygen in blood while respiration is process of breathing through which the body and blood gets oxygen.
