If energy is stored in chemical bonds, and bond formation is always an exothermic process, doesn't that imply that bond formation both stores and releases energy? How is this possible? I'm clearly not understanding some basic tenet of chemistry. For example, H+ and OH- neutralize to form H2O.
The fact is that you could not live except for a huge number of both exothermic and endothermic reactions. Thinking and reading this both involve reactions such as ATP hydrolysis and alkene isomerization. Glycolysis, the TCA cycle, electron transport and phosphorylation capture energy through a succession of endothermic and exothermic reactions. Energy is saved for future use by turning it into fat which is ultimately an endothermic process coupled to other exothermic processes. Even emotions must ultimately be chemical process even though they probably involve electrical processes as well. However, the electrical processes are made possible by chemical reactions. As you study any aspect of biology, keep in mind that it all depends on chemical reactions and essentially all chemical reactions are either exothermic or ...
