Question

During cellular respiration, the bonds of food molecules are broken, so energy can be released to fuel other cellular processes. In order for this to occur, which of the following statements must be true?
A.) The energy in the new compounds that are formed must be equal to the energy in the bonds of the food molecules.

B.) New compounds with lower-energy bonds must be formed when the high-energy bonds in food molecules are broken.

C.) New compounds with higher-energy bonds must be formed when the low-energy bonds in food molecules are broken.

D.) The new compounds that are formed must be more complex than the food molecules that were broken down.

Answer 1

#1) In order for this to occur, which of the following statements must be true?

Answer: During cellular respiration, the bonds of food molecules are broken, so energy can be released to fuel other cellular processes. In order for this to occur New compounds with lower-energy bonds must be formed when the high-energy bonds in food molecules are broken. Therefore the correct answer is choice (A).
