Q
What is Exergonic and Endergonic reactions?
What is the main difference between the two?
What are examples of both reactions?
What do they require?
A
- Exergonic reaction releases energy to the surrounding environment which is stored within the bonds of chemicals.
-Endergonic reaction is the net input of energy. KEEP IN MIND The products(substances formed from the reaction) contain more energy than the reactants.
-Cellular respiration- Exergonic
-Photosynthesis and ATP Synthesis- Endergonic
2
Q
What is an example Endergonic reaction and explain it?
A
-An example of an endergonic reaction is the synthesis of ATP.
-The ADP and Pi (inorganic phosphate) go through the substrate level of phosphorylation
