The chemical process of respiration?
Hi i'm doing my science GCSE's and im stuck. I can't find the chemical process for respiration anywhere. Can you shed any light on the topic? please briefly explain it too thanks
What is the chemical process of respiration?
Déjà vu… (seen before): See my answer to What Are the Parts of the Cellular Respiration Process?
How does cellular respiration as a chemical process result in a net transfer of energy?
The chemical process of cellular respiration involves the conversion of glucose into ATP molecules. This agrees with the 1st law of thermodynamics, which states that energy can be converted from one form to another, but not created nor destroyed. Glucose is a type of food-energy molecule that, through the process of cellular respiration (glycolysis, Krebs cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation) is converted into technically 40 ATP molecules. ATP is a type of chemical-energy molecule that can be used by the cell for daily activities.
Respiration is an exothermic process. How so?
During respiration the oxygen which we inhale combines with the glucose in the cells of our body to form CO2 and H2O along with some energy. This energy is mostly stored in the form of ATP, but some amount of energy also helps to keep up the temperature of our body.
Chemical equation for respiration?
There are many chemical reactions involved in respiration like ventilation, exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the air in the lungs and the blood, and also transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood to the tissues. However if you meant Cellular Respiration, the answer to your question is C6H12O6 (aq) + 6O2 (g) → 6CO2 (g) + 6H2O (l) ΔHc -2880 kJ Aerobic respiration requires oxygen in order to generate energy (ATP). It is the preferred method of pyruvate breakdown from glycolysis and requires that pyruvate enter the mitochondrion in order to be fully oxidized by the Krebs cycle. The product of this process is energy in the form of ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate), by substrate-level phosphorylation, NADH and FADH2.
Why is respiration a chemical change?
Respiration is a form of oxidation.Glucose is oxidised to CO2 and H2O (along with release of energy) at the cells by the oxygen from air we breathe in. C6H12O6 + 6 O2 = 6 CO2 + 6 H2OSince glucose is converted into new products with different composition, respiration is a chemical change.
What is the chemical equation of respiration?
The chemical equation for respiration is, as a word equation first:[math]glucose + oxygen \rightarrow water + carbon dioxide + energy (ATP)[/math]This is, as a chemical equation:[math]{C}_6{H}_{12}{O}_6 + {6}{O}_2 \rightarrow {6}{H}_2{O} + {6}{C}{O}_2 + energy[/math]
Is there a chemical formula for anaerobic respiration?
Yes:The Chemical Equation for Anaerobic Respiration Quick ReferenceGlucose = (ethanol or lactic acid) + carbon dioxide + energy
Cellular respiration harvests the most chemical energy in which process?
Oxidative phosphorylation. 32 or 34 ATP molecules are produced, whereas 2 are produced in glycolysis and 2 are produced in the Krebs cycle.
Cellular respiration harvests the most chemical energy from which process?
1. substrate-level phosphorylation 2. forming lactic acid from pyruvate 3. converting oxygen to ATP 4. harvesting electrons from organic molecules to use in oxidative phosphorylation 5. generating carbon dioxide and oxygen in the electron transport chain
