oxidation of the air that we inhale
A reaction that releases energy is exothermic.
for energy:) The major reason for chemical bonding is to produce energy. As a reaction occurs and begins to form products at a lower energy, energy must be released.
oxygen
This is an endothermic reaction.
The oxidation is called "combustion" (i.e. burning).
Nuclear Fusion
This is an oxidation reaction (combustion, burning).
oxygen
Fusion occurs when two atomic nuclei collide. The reaction that is produce by the collision can be used to provide energy. Fusion is the reaction that powers most active stars in the universe.

for energy:) The major reason for chemical bonding is to produce energy. As a reaction occurs and begins to form products at a lower energy, energy must be released.
A nuclear fusion reaction could produce a virtually limitless and clean source of energy. This occurs when two light atomic nuclei fuse to form a heavier nucleus. This releases a large amount of energy.
Nuclear fusion is the process that occurs in the sun that produces energy. Hydrogen atoms are fused together to produce helium. As a result of that fusion, energy is released in the form of heat and light.
oxygen
When ATP divides into ADP and Pi ( inorganic phosphate) energy is released. This energy is used by the cell to do work and produce heat. And the reverse reaction occurs by using the energy obtained from food. Thus the above reaction acts as a link reaction which links the catabolic and anabolic pathways.
An energy-absorbing reaction occurs spontaneously, as opposed to an energy-releasing reaction, which starts off slowly.
energy is absorbed
