Combustion 070618 - 080618

This document discusses where humans get their energy from and the process of cellular respiration. It states that humans get energy from the food they eat and oxygen they breathe. Inside cells, oxygen reacts with sugars through combustion to produce carbon dioxide, water, and energy. This reaction is an exothermic one that releases energy. For combustion to occur, both oxygen and a fuel source like glucose are required as reactants.

Combustion
*(REPEATED ON 08/06/18) Where Does Your Energy Come From?
 Humans get energy from the food we eat and the oxygen we breathe.

 Inside every one of our cells we combine oxygen with sugars to produce carbon dioxide,
water and energy.

 Write this as a word equation.

Oxygen + Sugar = CO2 + Water + Energy

*(REPEATED WITH MARGINAL DIFFERENCES ON 08/06/18) Oxygen +


Sugar = > CO2 + Water + energy
.

(Oddly Centred Because of Board Work


Placement): Combustion:

 Combustion is an exothermic reaction. This means it releases


energy.
 For combustion to occur, both oxygen and a fuel source are required as the reactants.

 Now balance the following equation of glucose reacting with oxygen:
