- In the process of respiration, the complex substances (food) are broken down into simpler substances and then converted into glucose. In this whole process, energy (or heat) is released.
- we know that a reaction in which heat is released along with the formation of products is known as an exothermic reaction.
- thus, from the above two points, respiration is an exothermic process.

We take items of wheat , rice , potatoes etc. in form of food. They contain carbohydrates. During the process of digestion, carbohydrates are broken down into simpler substances such as glucose . During the process of respiration glucose molecules combine with oxygen in cells and produce energy large amount of energy. Thats why respiration is considered as exothermic reaction . THE RCTN INVLD IS -
C6H12O6 + 6 O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O +ENERGY

Respiration is the most important biochemical reaction which releases energy in the cell. Even we breathe in air (oxygen) enters our lungs and this oxygen builds itself haemoglobin present in red blood cells. It is then carried to millions of cells present in our body. Respiration occurs in these cells and is accompanied by the combustion of glucose producing CO2 and water. A large amount of energy is released in this chemical reactions.

respiration is exothermic reaction because in this reaction complex food substances broke down into simpler substances and then converted into glucose in this whole process heat is released
and the reaction in which heat is released along with the formation of the product is called exothermic reaction
hence respiration is called exothermic reaction
and the reaction in which heat is released along with the formation of the product is called exothermic reaction
hence respiration is called exothermic reaction

Rice, potatoes and bread contain carbohydrates. During digestion, these carbohydrates are broken down into a simpler substance called glucose. Digestion follows respiration. During respiration, the glucose combines with oxygen in the cells of our body and provide energy. Thus, respiration is an exothermic process because energy is produced during this process.

For the survival of life, we require energy. We obtain this energy from the food we eat. The food molecules, through the process of digestion is broken down into simpler molecules like glucose. These substances come in contact with the oxygen present in our body cells to form carbon dioxide and water along with a certain amount of energy. Since the energy is in the form of heat ( which maintains our body tempreture) the respiration is considered to be an exothermic reaction.
The reaction takes place is:
C6H12O6 +6 O2 = 6CO2+ 6H2O + Energy
Hope it helps

We need energy to stay alive. We get this energy from the food we eat. During digestion, food is broken down into simpler substances.
EXAMPLE : Rice, potato, chapatti and bread contain carbohydrates. These carbohydrates are broken down to form glucose. This glucose combines with oxygen in the cells of our body and provides energy. The special name of this reaction is respiration. In this reaction, energy is released so this is exothermic reaction.

Respiration is exothermic, that is, it releases energy.we are referring to cellular respiration with oxygen, which converts glucose and other nutrients into energy for the life of the biological organism.
Biological respiration is breathing to bring oxygen into the body. It is not a chemical reaction at all, so it is neither exothermic nor endothermic.
Anaerobic respiration is the breakdown of nutrition for energy, but without oxygen. It is exothermic, but not as exothermic as respiration with oxygen, as the nutrients are not broken down as far, and less energy is released.
There are other types of respiration, such as aquatic respiration (how fish breathe with gills) and artificial respiration, a medical technique to replace or restore breathing.

An exothermic reaction is a reaction in which energy is liberated out.
Respiration is considered as exothermic reaction because energy is released in this process.
Glucose combines with oxygen present in our cells to form carbon dioxide and water along with energy.
C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ ----> 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + energy
