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. the energy released in cellular respiration is used to make atp, a compound used by cells to store and release energy.
complete the paragraph.
during cellular respiration, ____ energy is released when bonds are formed in the products than is used when bonds are broken in the reactants. overall, energy is ____ during cellular respiration.
more... used
more... released
less... released
less... used
The text states that in processes like cellular respiration, more energy is released than used. Breaking bonds (reactants) uses energy, forming bonds (products) releases energy. Since cellular respiration releases more energy (from bond - forming in products) than it uses (from bond - breaking in reactants), overall energy is released.
