what form of energy is stored within the molecules of atp?
kinetic energy
heat energy
potential energy
light energy
question 6
1 pts

1. when a substance looses electrons it is a select reaction.
2. when a substance gains electrons it is a select reaction

Explanation:

• Question 5: ATP stores energy in the form of potential energy. This is because the bonds within the ATP molecule have the capacity to do work when broken (which is characteristic of potential energy). Kinetic energy is energy of motion, heat energy is related to temperature, and light energy is from electromagnetic radiation, none of which fit ATP's energy storage.
• Question 6:
• When a substance loses electrons, it is an oxidation reaction. This is a fundamental definition in redox (reduction - oxidation) chemistry.
• When a substance gains electrons, it is a reduction reaction. The mnemonic "OIL RIG" (Oxidation Is Loss, Reduction Is Gain [of electrons]) can be used to remember this.

Answer:

• Question 5: Potential energy
• Question 6:

1. oxidation
2. reduction
