process of photosynthesis.

उत्तर
Process of respiration.
Explanation:
During respiration, glucose molecules are broken down and oxidised inside body cells to yield carbon dioxide and water. This biochemical pathway liberates a massive amount of metabolic energy stored as ATP to sustain body functions, making it characteristically exothermic. Conversely, splitting water molecules, calcining limestone, and synthesising glucose via photosynthesis all require continuous energy inputs, classifying them as endothermic.

A metal X forms a salt XSO4. The salt XSO4 forms a clear solution in water which reacts with sodium hydroxide solution to form a blue precipitate Y. Metal X is used in making electric wires and alloys like brass.
- What do you think metal X could be?
- Write the name, formula and colour of salt XSO4.
- What is the blue precipitate Y?
- Write a chemical equation of the reaction which takes place when salt XSO4 reacts with sodium hydroxide solution. Give the state symbols of all the reactants and products which occur in the above equation.
When a mixture of gases X and Y is compressed to 300 atm pressure and then passed over a catalyst consisting of a mixture of zinc oxide and chromium oxide (heated to a temperature of 300°C), then an organic compound Z having the molecular formula CH4O is formed. X is a highly poisonous gas which is formed in appreciable amounts when a fuel burns in a limited supply of air; Y is a gas which can be made by the action of a dilute acid on an active metal; and Z is a liquid organic compound which can react with sodium metal to produce hydrogen gas.
- What are X, Y and Z?
- Write a balanced chemical equation of the reaction which takes place when X and Y combine to form Z. Indicate the conditions under which the reaction occurs.
