Firewood is made up of cellulose,which is a polymer of glucose molecules.When burning,heat and light are given off,indicating that a(n)________ reaction is occurring.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The release of heat and light during burning indicates an exergonic reaction, in which energy is being released. The other choices are not applicable in this scenario - endergonic reactions require energy input, equilibrium refers to a state of balance and not a type of reaction, and potential and kinetic energy refer to types of energy rather than reactions.
