________ Bond is a Covalent Bond That Stores an Unusually

Question

________ bond is a covalent bond that stores an unusually large amount of energy.
A) forceful
B) charged
C) excitable
D) power
E) high-energy

Accepted Answer

A high-energy bond is a covalent bond that has a significant amount of energy stored in it. This energy can be used in biochemical reactions, such as ATP hydrolysis, to power cellular processes. High-energy bonds are typically formed between atoms with greatly differing electronegativities, leading to unequal sharing of electrons and a buildup of potential energy. Examples of high-energy bonds include those found in ATP, NADH, and between the phosphate groups of DNA.
