State an important use of decomposition reactions.
Advertisements
उत्तर
- Those reactions in which a compound splits up into two or more simpler substances are known as decomposition reactions.
- An important use of decomposition reaction is the digestion of food in our bodies.
- This is because the carbohydrates and proteins in the food we eat break down into simpler sugars like glucose and amino acids, respectively.
- These further break down to provide us with energy to do work.
