The major molecule involved in energy release and storage is ADENOSINE TRIPHOSPHATE. It contains a large ADENOSINE molecule connected to three PHOSPHATE groups via PHOSPHATE bond. When the bond that connects one of the three PHOSPHATE groups to the ADENOSINE molecule is broken down, energy is released. The resulting molecule would be ADENOSINE DIPHOSPHATE, one free PHOSPHATE group and energy.

Why is energy released during the formation of chemical bonds?

Energy is released during the formation of chemical bonds because when atoms come together to form bonds, they release energy that was stored in their chemical bonds. This release of energy helps to stabilize the newly formed compound and makes the overall system more stable.


Does energy always released during ionization?

During the formation of anions (negatigely charged ions) energy is released. During the formation of cations (positively charged ions) energy is absorbed.

Does dehydration synthesis release energy?

Yes, dehydration synthesis releases energy. During this process, a water molecule is removed as two compounds bond together, resulting in the release of energy that drives the formation of the new bond.
