Why are oxidation reactions often associated with the production of ATP?

Oxygen is a fairly simple element to work with. It is found in many molecules and often forms hydrogen bonds with the other elements in that molecule; one example is a water molecule. Hydrogen bonds are the simplest bonds to break and breaking bonds releases ATP.

Do oxidizing and reducing agents have to be reactants?
No, there are other types of chemical reactions besides oxidation-reduction (or redox) reactions. For example, there are polymerization reactions. Dissociation can be the reversal of an oxidation reduction reaction, most often caused by heat, although there are other ways to make molecules dissociate. Electricity can be used to force chemicals to react in certain ways that have nothing to do with oxidation reduction. Some reactions are driven by entropy rather than by oxidation reduction. Systems tend toward a more random state.
In cells endergonic reactions are often coupled with enzymatic reactions that store energy True or false?
false
Do chemical reactions often give out heat?
yes
What do reactions with acids often give off?
In acidic reactions hydromium (H+) is a product formed but usually bonds with another product. BAsic reactions give off hydroixides (OH's). This is how pH and pOH's are calculated. By the number of hydromiums and hydroixides given off.
What is often associated with very severe thunderstorms called supercells?
Supercells are often associate with tornadoes.

Which are the chemical reactions in which colour changes takes place?
often the oxidation number is changed. Sometimes the conjugation would change in an organic. Tow things mainly account for colour. Conjugation and lone pairs
Can dogs get colic what are the symptoms and treatment?
Yes they can but it not often they do, as colic is an over production of gas usually associated with eating too much grass.
What is the relationship between oxidation and reduction?
Oxidation and Reduction reactions occur when electrons are transferred. The molecule that is oxidized loses an electron and the molecule that is reduced gains the electron that was lost by the oxidized molecule. Therefore, oxidation and reduction have to occur together.
Does Oxidation form chemical bonds?
Yes, it often does.
Chemical reactions that energy often occur spontaneously?
endothermic: or energy absorbing reactions
What oxidation number?
'Oxidation number' and oxidation state are often used interchangeably. Oxidation state is a formal way of determining the degree of oxidation of an atom or ion or molecule; for ions the oxidation number is equal to the ionic charge. In non ionic compounds the most electronegative element is assumed to "own" the electrons. So in say InP which is a semiconductor and not ionic, the oxidation state of indium is +III and P is -III. Oxidation number is a convention used in complexes. Ligands are removed from the ion with all bonding electrons. Often the oxidation number and oxidation state have the same values but calculating the the oxidation number of N in ammonia, H is removed as hydride ion, H- you get the strange looking result of nitrogen with an oxidation number of +3. In contrast the oxidation states of N and H would be calculated as -III and +1
What is photo-oxidation in plants?
Oxidation is a process in which something (an atom or molecule or substance) loses an electron to something else. Photo-oxidation is therefore the process of oxidation which is caused by shining light on it. Often, light can be used to cause reactions to happen, such as oxidation. The term "photo" comes from "photon" which is light.
