what dose this make ?????? Organic Compounds + Oxygen → Carbon Dioxide + Water + Energy
i cant seem to find it its not schoool or anything its just bugging me lol
(a) Organic compound + O2 --> CO2 + H2O + energy (plus other components if more than C, H, and O are present in the original compound) (b) Note how the reaction consists basically of the combination (chemical reaction) of the organic compound with some amount of oxygen (c) This is followed by the chemical conversion of all carbons to carbon dioxide (CO2) and all hydrogens from the organic compound to water (H2O) (d) Though activation energy is, of course, required to get this reaction started, ultimately there is a net gain in energy from the reaction... it is an exergonic reaction (e) In biological systems, the steps involved in the oxidation of organic compounds are not nearly this simple, but ultimately the result is the same though with one major difference: the energy liberated during the oxidation of organic compounds by organisms is employed to generate ATP
oh my lord lol
