Answer:
To a physical chemist, high-energy bond means a vary stable bond that requires a lot of energy to break, where as to a biochemist, the term is likely to mean that a release of a lot of energy upon hydrolysis.
Explanation:
FALSE
Energy can be stored in special high-energy bonds in molecules such as ATP and is released when these bonds are broken no such thing as a high-energy bond, it’s all about the stability of reactant vs product or something to that effect.
The terminal phosphate of ATP is a high-energy phosphate that takes its high energy with it when it is hydrolyzed-The phosphate group doesn't posses any intrinsic energy of its own. The term high-energy applies only to the phosphoanhydride bond that links the phosphate group to the rest of the ATP molecule.
Phosphoester bonds are low-energy bonds beacuase they require less energy to break than the high-energy bonds of phosphoanhydrides.- the low-energy bonds require more energy to break, which is why less energy is released when such bonds are hydrolyzed.
TRUE:
The term high-energy molecule should be thought of as a characteristic of the reaction that the molecule is involved in – not as an intrinsic property of a particular bond within the molecule.
