Oxidation reactions have __________ energy than reduction reactions.
Less
Going from ATP to ADP is an __________ reaction.
Exergonic
__________ is the energy required to initiate a chemical reaction.
Activation Energy
The __________ of an exergonic reaction depends on the activation energy required.
Rate
Rate can be increased in two ways:
