Energy is released when chemical bonds break (Ross, 1993; Ayyildiz & Tarhan, 2012).

Items that test for misconception EBM009 in this project (MEGA) and key idea (Cellular respiration is a chemical …)
Item ID Number	Item Description	How Often the Misconception was Chosen	Select This Item for My Item Bank
EB022002	The process by which organisms obtain energy from food involves a chemical reaction between oxygen and carbon-containing molecules from food. During the reaction, atoms are rearranged to form different molecules, and energy is released as the bonds of these new molecules form.	20%
