What is respiration?
The chemical process in which energy is released from the breaking down of food is called respiration.
• Where does• Where does
respiration take
place?
Respiration occur
in the body cells.4yschow88@smkbpj(a)
How does respiration take part?
• Respiration requires oxygen. Oxygen oxidises the glucose in the body cells to release energy.
• Carbon dioxide and water• Carbon dioxide and water
vapour are the waste products
in respiration:
Gucose Oxygen Energy Carbon dioxide
Water vapour

What gas is needed for respiration?
• Responding- Contents of air in the boiling tube
• Constant- The presence of living organisms
• Manipulated- The position of mercury thread 8yschow88@smkbpj(a)
Result
• The mercury thread of A and B moves towards the boiling tubes.
• While the mercury thread at boiling tube C does not change. does not change.
Conclusion:
Oxygen is needed by animals and plants during respiration.

Do organisms release carbon dioxide during respiration?
• Responding - Contents of air in the boiling tube
• Constant - The presence of living organisms
• Manipulated -The colour change carbonate indicator
(bicarbonate indicator) 10yschow88@smkbpj(a)
Result
The hydrogen carbonate indicator in tube X and Y change from redred to yellowyellow, while the hydrogen carbonate indicator in tubes Z does not change. Z does not change.
Conclusion
Organisms release carbon dioxide during respiration.

Humans require chemical energy to carry out life processes.
This energy is obtained when sugars from digested food are
broken down during respiration.

Combustion
Combustion is the burning of substances in air.
The substance (fuel), reacts rapidly with oxygen to produce heat and light.oxygen to produce heat and light.
Combustion is a chemical
process because during
this process new
substances are formed.
21yschow88@smkbpj(a)
Conditions for combustion
Combustion can only occur when these three
conditions are satisfied, that is, the presence of:
a. a substance that can burn, or a fuel (2 types)
i. Carboni. Carbon
ii. Hydrocarbon
b. Oxygen
c. Heat to warm the fuel
until it reaches ignition
temperature.

The combustion of carbons
The combustion of
carbons like firewood,
charcoal and coal
produces carbon
dioxide and energy in dioxide and energy in
the form of heat and

The combustion of hydrocarbons
The combustion of hydrocarbons which are
compounds of hydrogen and carbon, produces
carbon dioxide, water and energy in the form of
heat and light.
Examples of hydrocarbons:
1. Kerosene
2. Petrol
3. Diesel
4. wax.24yschow88@smkbpj(a)
