A. a large amount of energy released into its surrounding
During the respiration, glucose molecules are converted to other molecules in a series of steps. They finally end up as as carbon-dioxide and water.
The overall reaction is
<span>C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + 2805 kJ
</span>
The reaction is exothermic reaction because <span>C=O and O-H bonds in the products are so much more stable than the bonds in the reactants.
</span>
Bond energy is the average needed to break a bond.
Some bond energies are:
C-C = 347 kJ/mol
C-H = 413kJ/mol;
C-O = 358 kJ/mol;
O-H = 467 kJ/mol;
O=O = 495 kJ/mol;
<span>C=O = 799 kJ/mol</span>
