Breaking chemical bonds is typically an endothermic process, which means energy must be added (it must pull in energy)
Breaking of chemical bonds is always endothermic meaning it wants energy, so it takes energy from its surroundings and sucks it in. Think of 'endo' as inside. The chemical bonds want energy inside of it so it can break.
Forming of chemical bonds is exothermic, meaning it releases energy into its surroundings. Think of 'exo' as outside, or exterior, it releases its energy outside of itself.
I hope that makes some kind of sense :)
Answer: the capsation (the chemical that causes the hot, burning taste/sensation) causes pain and discomfort in the animal attemptng to eat the plant therefor protecting it.
Answer:
For example, insurance helps you own a home, because mortgage lenders need to know your home is protected. It covers you for repairs and replacement of any damage that's covered in your policy.
Answer:
Loss of electrons and hydrogen ions are generally involved in oxidation reactions in biological systems
Explanation:
The substrates involved in the oxidation reaction in biological systems often loss hydrogen ion detached from itself and thereafter an electron is removed. The substrates are then oxidized by the addition of oxygen to the substrates.
These processes are catalyzed by Oxidoreductases and oxidation takes place alongside with reduction.
