In nuclear fission it is the nucleus of the atom that splits, not a molecule, and this releases neutrons and energy. Reactions at the molecule level are termed chemical reactions, not nuclear, and these chemical reactions involve whole atoms and molecules.

Which is the processes of the water cycle occur by releasing energy?
Precipitation.
The molecule which stores and releases energy for cellular processes is?
Thylakoid.
What molecule that provides most of the energy for cellular processes is called?
adenoidine triphosphate a molcule that acts as the main energy source for cell processes
How is energy from glucose metabolism stored and use in the body?
During glucose metabolism, the energy from glucose is stored in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate). ATP is a molecule that acts as an energy currency in cells. When energy is needed, ATP is broken down, releasing energy that can be used for various cellular processes such as muscle contraction or active transport.
Which of these is an energy carrier molecule by mitochondria?
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the energy carrier molecule used by mitochondria. It stores and releases energy within cells, making it an essential molecule for various cellular processes. mitochondria produce ATP through cellular respiration, where energy from nutrients is converted into ATP.
Which is the processes of the water cycle occur by releasing energy?
Precipitation.
What is a cell's processes for storing and releasing energy?
ATP and respiration
Which of the processes of water cycle occur by releasing energy?
Evaporation
What do chemical processes store and release in the bonds of the molecule?
energy
The molecule which stores and releases energy for cellular processes is?
Thylakoid.
What molecule that provides most of the energy for cellular processes is called?
adenoidine triphosphate a molcule that acts as the main energy source for cell processes
The major energy carrying molecule in the cell is what?
The primary energy carrying molecule in a cells is ATP. ATP is known as adenosine triphosphate which is an organic molecule that stores and releases energy, used in cellular processes.
Energy is released from an ATP molecule for cellular processes when it?
has a phosphate group removed
Which process release energy?
The process of cellular respiration is responsible for releasing energy. In addition, ATP is responsible for storing additional released energy.
What is nuclear energy and what are its uses?
It is energy that comes from nuclear fission where an energetic neutron splits an molecule into to creating more energetic neutrons and molecule and releases the energy needed for the atoms in the molecule to stick together. It can be used as bombs or to power ships, submarines and cities.
How is energy from glucose metabolism stored and use in the body?
During glucose metabolism, the energy from glucose is stored in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate). ATP is a molecule that acts as an energy currency in cells. When energy is needed, ATP is broken down, releasing energy that can be used for various cellular processes such as muscle contraction or active transport.
What is the process of releasing chemical energy from nutrients?
ATP. It is short for adenosine triphophate, and it gives energy to all metabolic processes in both plants and animals.
