What is exoyhermic?
'exoyhermic' is a typo of 'exothermic' ;D Exothermic describes a process or reaction that releases energy in the form of heat. In other words, an exothermic reaction releases heat, or gets hotter. An endothermic reaction is one that absorbs heat, or gets cooler.
When a reaction is at equilibrium increasing the temperature favors the reaction that releases energy as heat.?
This is False!!! According to LeChatlier's Principle, increasing the temperature is a strees on the equilibrium. To relieve that stress the reaction will shift producing more of the substances on the side of the reaction that absorbs heat energy.
Why does extra glucose and oxygen let muscles pull harder?
The reaction of glucose with oxygen, which is equivalent to burning, but slower, releases energy which drives every other chemical reaction of the body, including those which cause muscle fibers to contract.
Is heat always released in a chemical reaction?
No. One example of a chemical reaction which releases something other than heat is gamma radiation, which gives off massless light particles (as hard as that is to believe). In addition, all endothermic reactions actually consume heat energy.
Does nuclear fusion occur in stars?
Nuclear fusion takes place only in the core of the Sun, or any star. Extremely high energy (temperatures) are required to force atomic nuclei together. The fusion reaction releases heat energy, which continues the fusion of other nuclei.
A chemical reaction such as cellular respiration that releases free energy?
glucose and other food molecules

Animals take in chemical energy from plants and other animals and what happens?
They breakdown the large molecules in to small ones in a reaction called respiration. This releases the energy and makes carbon dioxide and water.

Do combustion reactions release energy?
Yes, the combustion of coal, oil, natural gas, wood, or other fuels that burn in air, all produce energy in the form of thermal energy
What releases energy from sugars or other organic molecules by oxidation?
OXYGEN
How do endothermic and exothermic differ?
Exothermic reactions release energy (usually as heat) into the surrounding environment - endothermic reactions absorb energy from the surrounding environment. Note that exothermic reactions are capable of turning into runaway reactions as the heat of reaction often speeds up the rate of reaction (releasing more heat, etc). Endothermic reactions are, usually, self moderating as a limited amount of energy is capable of being drawn from the surrounding environment.
Which organelle releases energy from sugars and other molecules?
The mitochondria releases energy from sugars during the process of cellular respiration. They are also known as the ATP power house.
A chemical reaction that transfers energy from the reactants to the surroundings is reffered to as?
A chemical reaction that transfers energy from the reactants to the surroundings is referred to as an exothermic reaction. A reaction that takes energy in is endothermic.
What are the advantages of gasoline?
Gasoline is (or at least was) an abundant source of energy. Combustion of gasoline is an exothermic reaction that releases a significant amount of energy that can be harnessed. It's also cheap compared to other fuel sources, and has one of the highest energy return on investment (EROI - how much energy do you get based on how much you invest) ratings.
