Combustion
*(REPEATED ON 08/06/18) Where Does Your Energy Come From?
 Humans get energy from the food we eat and the oxygen we breathe.

 Inside every one of our cells we combine oxygen with sugars to produce carbon dioxide,
water and energy.

 Write this as a word equation.

Oxygen + Sugar = CO2 + Water + Energy

*(REPEATED WITH MARGINAL DIFFERENCES ON 08/06/18) Oxygen +

Sugar = > CO2 + Water + energy
.

(Oddly Centred Because of Board Work

Placement): Combustion:

 Combustion is an exothermic reaction. This means it releases

energy.
 For combustion to occur, both oxygen and a fuel source are required as the reactants.
