Document Summary
A mouse in a sealed jar consumes as much air as a candle burning in the same jar (both illustrate process of oxidization/combustion) (duffin, 49) Carbon dioxide (co2) is a byproduct of energy production. Member of the upper classes who used his wealth to finance his science research. Established formal principles, nomenclature and methodology for the science of chemistry. Executed in the french revolution (duffin, 50 and 208) Through the precise collection and measurement of the products of the reaction, lavoisier proved that co2 output during respiration corresponded to. Carbohydrates (fuel); glucose or fatty acids are oxidized, producing energy in cells (mitochondria) Co2 output during respiration corresponds to o2 input. Calories: a unit equivalent to the large calorie expressing heat-producing or energy-producing value in food when oxidized in the body . Friedrich wohler synthesizes urea in the lab (1828) Justus von liebig discovers the amino acid tyrosine (1846)
