The products of aerobic respiration are carbon dioxide, water and energy.
Energy is released as chemical energy (ATP) and heat. ATP is used for various things, such as muscle contraction. The heat energy helps to maintain a steady body temperature.
Lime water turns milky/cloudy when you pass carbon dioxide through it because a reaction takes place that produces a white precipitate.
This can be used as evidence that carbon dioxide is excreted by the lungs.

Due to the onset of the coronavirus epidemic we may not be able to carry out laboratory experiments in the school laboratory. In thi event please complete the below gizmo titled 'Cell Energy Cycle'.
Carbon dioxide production can also be detected using an indicator called hydrogen carbonate indicator. Hydrogen carbonate indicator changes colour to show the level of carbon dioxide in the surrounding air.
Task: What colour will each go? Explain your answer
