Question

when molecules such as glucose and oxygen gas undergo a chemical reaction, the atoms in the molecules are rearranged. rearranging atoms both uses energy and releases energy. breaking bonds always uses energy, and forming bonds always releases energy.
a chemical process often involves rearranging many atoms. the amount of energy used and released depends on the bonds that are broken and formed. some processes, like cellular respiration, release more energy than they use. other processes use more energy than they release.
complete the sentence below.
during cellular respiration, ______ energy is released when bonds are formed in the products than is used when bonds are broken in the reactants.
more
less

Explanation:

The text states that in processes like cellular respiration, more energy is released than used. Since forming bonds (in products) releases energy and breaking bonds (in reactants) uses energy, for more energy to be released overall, the energy from bond - forming (in products) must be greater than the energy used in bond - breaking (in reactants).
