What happens to the energy liberated in respiration? |
|
Answer» Explanation: Cellular respiration OCCURS through out the day in all organisms. Respiration is sometimes called BIOLOGICAL OXIDATION and thus may be compared to burning. ALTHOUGH both are OXIDATION reactions, the manner in which the energy is released differs in the two processes. In both, the energy released is obtained from CHEMICAL bonds. (CO2) may be a WASTE PRODUCT in both. In burning there is an uncontrolled, rapid RELEASE of energy with accompanying high temperatures but in CELLULAR RESPIRATION energy is released in discrete amounts due to enzymatic control of the process.
hope it helps! wish u luck.... |
