Which life process occurs when carbon dioxide, energy, and water are produced by the combination of food and oxygen with enzymes?

Answer 1

Cellular respiration

Cellular respiration is a #24"/"7# process that happens in the human body. It is when glucose (simple sugars) and oxygen combine together to form energy #("ATP")# and water #(H_2O)# for the human body to survive. Another by-product that is released in the form of waste is carbon dioxide gas #(CO_2)#.

The equation for cellular respiration is:

#C_6H_12O_6(aq)+6O_2(g)->6CO_2(g)+6H_2O(l)#

There are two types of cellular respiration in humans, aerobic and anaerobic respiration. Aerobic occurs when there is plenty of oxygen available, while anaerobic occurs when there is a shortage of oxygen, such as during intense exercises. Aerobic respiration also produces much more energy than anaerobic respiration.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
