Why respiration is considered an exothermic reaction? Write balanced chemical equation for the above process? |

Answer» Carbohydrates present in food are broken down to form glucose. This glucose combines with oxygen in the cells of our body and provides energy; this reaction is known as respiration. Hence, respiration is considered as an exothermic reaction. C6H12O6 + 6O2 ⇾ 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy |
