A. a large amount of energy released into its surrounding

During the respiration, glucose molecules are converted to other molecules in a series of steps. They finally end up as as carbon-dioxide and water.

The overall reaction is

<span>C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + 2805 kJ
</span>
The reaction is exothermic reaction because <span>C=O and O-H bonds in the products are so much more stable than the bonds in the reactants.
</span>
Bond energy is the average needed to break a bond.

Some bond energies are:
C-C = 347 kJ/mol
C-H = 413kJ/mol;
C-O = 358 kJ/mol;
O-H = 467 kJ/mol;
O=O = 495 kJ/mol;
<span>C=O = 799 kJ/mol</span>

Respiration is an exothermic reaction because a large amount of energy is released into it's surroundings, which is B. An exothermic reaction is a reaction that releases heat or energy into it's surroundings. During respiration, energy is released into the surrounding. Therefore it is an exothermic reaction. An endothermic reaction on the other hand takes in heat or energy from it's surrounding. Hope i helped.

Why is the sky blue?
Levart [38]

Answer:

Gases and particles in Earth's atmosphere scatter sunlight in all directions. Blue light is scattered more than other colors because it travels as shorter, smaller waves. This is why we see a blue sky most of the time.

if a current of 0.3 ampere flows through a conductor of resistance of 11.7 ohm's,the voltage across the ends of the conductor is
Gnesinka [82]

Here,

Resistance = 11.7

Ampere = 0.3

Voltage = ?

Now,

R = V/A

11.7 = V/0.3

11.7*0.3 =V

V = 3.51

I hope it's help you...

What is the difference between Weight and Mass?<br>Please give a fair amount of detail!
Sidana [21]
The <em>mass</em> of an object is a measure of how much stuff it's made of.  So it's
a property of the object, like the object's length or color.  It doesn't depend on
where the object is located right now, or on what else is around it..

The <em>weight</em> of an object is the measure of the gravitational force between it
and something else.  The strength of the force depends on the size of both
masses, and also on how far apart they are.  So the weight does depend on
where the object is located right now, and on what else is around it.

I think that sums it up fairly well.

A person with mass mp = 74 kg stands on a spinning platform disk with a radius of R = 2.31 m and mass md = 183 kg. The disk is i
timurjin [86]

Answer:

1) 883 kgm2

2) 532 kgm2

3) 2.99 rad/s

4) 944 J

5) 6.87 m/s2

6) 1.8 rad/s

Explanation:

1)Suppose the spinning platform disk is solid with a uniform distributed mass. Then its moments of inertia is:

I_d = m_dR^2/2 = 183*2.31^2/2 = 488 kgm^2

If we treat the person as a point mass, then the total moment of inertia of the system about the center of the disk when the person stands on the rim of the disk:

I_{rim} = I_d + m_pR^2 = 488 + 74*2.31^2 = 883 kgm^2

2) Similarly, he total moment of inertia of the system about the center of the disk when the person stands at the final location 2/3 of the way toward the center of the disk (1/3 of the radius from the center):

I_{R/3} = I_d + m_p(R/3)^2 = 488 + 74*(2.31/3)^2 = 532 kgm^2

3) Since there's no external force, we can apply the law of momentum conservation to calculate the angular velocity at R/3 from the center:

I_{rim}\omega_{rim} = I_{R/3}\omega_{R/3}

\omega_{R/3} = \frac{I_{rim}\omega_{rim}}{I_{R/3}}

\omega_{R/3} = \frac{883*1.8}{532} = 2.99 rad/s

4)Kinetic energy before:

E_{rim} = I_{rim}\omega_{rim}^2/2 = 883*1.8^2/2 = 1430 J

Kinetic energy after:

E_{R/3} = I_{R/3}\omega_{R/3}^2/2 = 532*2.99^2/2 = 2374 J

So the change in kinetic energy is: 2374 - 1430 = 944 J

5) a_c = \omega_{R/3}^2(R/3) = 2.99^2*(2.31/3) = 6.87 m/s^2

6) If the person now walks back to the rim of the disk, then his final angular speed would be back to the original, which is 1.8 rad/s due to conservation of angular momentum.
