In metabolism, sugar molecules such as glucose undergo the process called oxidation, either the addition of oxygen or removal of hydrogen,so that energy can be released from sugar. The whole series of chemical reactions involved in breaking down glucose into energy equivalent to 38 ATP[Adenosine triphosphate] molecules is called respiration.

What is the gas that is usually needed to release the energy stored in sugar called?

The gas needed to release the energy stored in sugar is oxygen. During the process of cellular respiration, sugar (glucose) is broken down in the presence of oxygen to release energy in the form of ATP.


Is burning gas on the stove an example of exergonic?

Yes, burning gas on the stove is an example of an exergonic reaction. It releases energy in the form of heat and light as it converts the chemical energy stored in the gas molecules into thermal energy.


What type of energy is energy stored in gasoline?

Gasoline is a mixture of hydrocarbons. As gas is burned, the compounds are broken down into simplier compounds and the breaking of these compounds releases energy.

What forms of energy is observed in a barbecue?

In a barbecue, the primary forms of energy observed are thermal energy (heat) from burning charcoal or gas, radiant energy as heat is transferred from the grill to the food, and chemical energy as food cooks and releases energy stored in its molecules.
