When an iron tawa/pan/nail is left exposed to humid atmosphere, it undergoes rusting, a type of oxidation reaction where iron reacts with oxygen in the air to form iron oxide.

When milk is left at room temperature during summers, it undergoes bacterial fermentation, leading to curdling and spoilage due to the growth of microbes.

When grapes get fermented, yeast consumes the sugars present in the grapes, producing ethanol and carbon dioxide as byproducts, resulting in the production of wine.

When food is cooked, various chemical reactions occur, such as Maillard reaction, caramelization, and denaturation of proteins, which alter the texture, flavor, and nutritional content of the food.

When we respire, cellular respiration occurs, where glucose is broken down to produce energy in the form of ATP, releasing carbon dioxide and water as byproducts.
