Why is respiration considered as an exothermic reaction? Explain?..

Answer / Bhanu Pratap Singh Chauhan

Respiration is considered an exothermic reaction because it releases energy in the form of heat. During cellular respiration, glucose molecules are broken down, and the chemical energy stored in these molecules is released as ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and heat.

Water flows through a pipe with circular cross sectional area at the rate of V / t = 80 L / s where V is the volume and t is time. Let Av = 80 L / s where A is cross sectional area and v is velocity of fluid. For point 1, the radius of the pipe is 16 cm. For point 2, the radius of the pipe is 8 cm. Find (a) the velocity at point 1; (b) the velocity at point 2; (c) the pressure at point 2 by using Bernoulli’s equation where P Rgy 0.5 RV = constant. P is the pressure, R = density of fluid, V = square of fluid’s velocity, g = gravitational constant of 9.81 N / kg and y = 2 m = difference of height at 2 points. The pressure of point 1 is 180 kPa.
