Does ethane or butane have more potential energy?

Butane is a longer hydrocarbon (4 carbons in a chain, as compared to ethanes 2), so it has more energy stored up in the bonds. This means that it will release more energy when it is broken apart and new molecules are formed from it.


What is the process in which sugar is formed in photosynthesis are broken into simpler molecules?

During cellular respiration the sugars formed during photosynthesis are broken into simpler molecules. These simpler molecules are carbon dioxide and water.


How are molecules built and broke down?

Molecules are formed by synthesis from elements; molecules are broken by chemical reactions.


What is released when sugar molecule is broken down?

Sorry if I have misunderstood the question but I think your asking what is formed in respiration? This is where oxygen and hydrogen are used to turn Glucose (C6H12O6 or Sugar) into ATP. The process is massively complicated but around 30 ATP molecules is a good out put for arobic respiration. *ATP molecules are the energy form which our body uses to do everything.


When glucose is broken down how many molecules of CO2 are formed?

6


Why does water have a high and specific heat?

Water's high heat capacity is a property caused by hydrogen bonding among water molecules. When heat is absorbed, hydrogen bonds are broken and water molecules can move freely. When the temperature of water decreases, the hydrogen bonds are formed and release a considerable amount of energy.


What kind of reaction is formed when ionic or covalent bonds are broken and elements ions or simpler molecules are formed?

Decomposition reaction


What does not require energy obtained from pre-formed organic molecules?

Autotrophs


Why is energy released in a exothermic reaction?

Energy is released in an exothermic reaction because bonds are being formed.


When phosphate groups are removed and molecules of ADP are formed energy is released. This energy can be used to?

cellular work


How energy is made available by chemical reaction?

in chemical reactions, energy is absorbed or released when chemical bonds are broken and new ones are formed.


How does ATP release energy?

ATP releases energy when the bond between the 2nd and 3rd phosphate group is broken forming (ADP)adenosine diphosphate.:0DNot really. Breaking a bond doesn't release energy; rather, it requires energy. The energy gets released when new molecules -- with stronger bonds -- are formed. ATP provides energy when it transfers phosphate groups to more strongly bonded glucose or fructose phosphates. The eventual formation of carbon dioxide, with its strong bonds, also releases energy.Matt
