The symbol equation for neutralisation is:
acid + alkali → salt + water
H+(aq) + OH-(aq) → H2O(aq)
H+(aq) + OH-(aq) → H2O(l)

The process of getting oxygen into your lung is
A chemical process in your cells is respiration breathing( respiration, breathing )
Getting carbon dioxide out of your lungs through breathing respiration( breathing, respiration )
takes place in mitochondria
is a process that releases energy
Respiration is the process that releases energy from food. Why is this done?
In mammals - to maintain a constant body temperature
To allow molecules to diffuse through membranes
To enable muscles to contract
To build larger molecules from smaller ones
In plants - to build up sugars, nitrates and other nutrients into amino acids
