What are all reactions in the body called?

Generally in a body two type of reactions take place, catabolic and anabolic. Catabolic reactions are the type of reactions in which bio-molecules in our body split into their constituents to release energy; while anabolic reactions are those reactions in which new bio-molecules are synthesized in our Body. Together both reactions are known as METABOLISM.


What is the diffrencence between exothermic reaction and chemical reaction?

Exothermic reaction is just one of the two possible chemical reactions: either exothermic or endothermic. (No difference but heat release)


What are molecules and what do they do?

Atomatom are are having neutral charge and they they are been made by nuclease and electron, nuclease is having neutral charge because it contain protons and neutron and proton have positive charge and neutron have no charge. in simple way we can say that every thing is made by an atom.Moleculemolecule are formed when atoms combine elements are farmed and when two or more elements chemically combine molecule is formed .Ionsions are formed when an atom get positive or negative charge.All matter is made up of combinations of atoms, molecules, and ions.An atom is the smallest component of any element having all the chemical properties of that specific element.A molecule is the simplest complete structural unit of an element or compound that can exist in nature.Ions are atoms or molecules that have become electrically charged (positive or negative) by having lost or gained one or more electrons.


A chemical reaction in which bonds are broken is usually associated with blank?

A chemical reaction in which bonds are broken is usually associated with the release of energy. Stable bonds are responsible for releasing energy as they are formed.


Why doesn't solar energy pollute?

Currently our primary means of producing energy is burning fossil fuels, which is a chemical reaction. All chemical reactions have byproducts, some of which are pollutants. With solar energy, though, we capture energy directly so there are no byproducts.A:Because it is sunlight energy and does not release any carbon dioxide or other pollutants into the air.

How is endothermic reactions differ from exothermic reactions?

Endothermic chemical reactions absorb more energy than they release, while exothermic chemical reactions release more energy than they absorb.


Describe the role of energy in chemical reactions?

Chemical reactions that release energy often occur spontaneously. Chemical reactions that absorb energy will not occur without energy.


Chemical reactions that release energy do if occur or don't?

These are called exothermic reactions.


What chemical reaction release thermal energy?

only nuclear reactionsChemical reactions that release free energy are called exergonic reactions. Fire and cellular respiration are examples of exergonic reactions.


What are chemical reactions that release energy in the abscence of oxygen called?

that's exothermic reactions in general. :)


What chemical reaction makes things hot?

Exothermic chemical reactions release heat.


What causes the bonds to break in a chemical reactions?

If there isn't enough energy in the atom the molecules start bumping into each other and there's enough energy then the chemical bond breaks. hope this helps :)


Chemical reactions that release energy will always explode?

will never expload


Do chemical reaction absorb energy spontaneously or do they release them?

Some chemical reactions are exothermic, some are endothermic.
