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. less more

Explanation:

The text states that some processes, like cellular respiration, release more energy than they use. Since breaking bonds uses energy and forming bonds releases energy, for cellular respiration to release more energy overall, the energy released when bonds are formed in the products must be greater than the energy used when bonds are broken in the reactants.
