No. I have been taught the terms endothermic and exothermic but i think it is the same thing. if you think of bonds as energy then a catabolic reaction, which is just the breaking of bonds, gives off heat energy making it exothermic. I think i got that right butdon't quote me :P hope this helps

OK Ive just looked up endogonic and im not rewriting my answer but they are pretty much the same just thermic is heat and gonic is energy

Anabolic, endergonic, non-spontaneous


Breaking apart the link between ATP and a phosphate which produces heatidentify this reactin as either anabloic or catabolic endergonic or exergonic and spontaneous or non spontaneous?

The breaking apart the link between ATP and phosphate which produces heat is catabolic, exergonic, and spontaneous. The burning of paper is catabolic, exergonic, and spontaneous.


Burning paper identify as either anabolic or catabolic endergonic or exergonic and spontaneous or non spontaneous?

Catabolic: cellulose is broken down to carbon dioxide, water, and carbon monoxide. Exergonic: energy is released which can be used for work. Spontaneous: once the reaction is started, it will go to completion.


Is making ATP endergonic or exergonic?

making ATP is endergonic. This is because after ATP hydrolysis to form ADP + P, we now are at a lower energy state and for ATP to be formed again it has to be fueled by catabolic pathways, eg respiration. this energy input allows ATP to be formed and thus we see that phosphorylation of ADP requires energy input (endergonic) to form ATP. Converting ATP into ADP and P itself is EXERGONIC.


Does a catabolic reaction absorb or require energy?

A reaction is endergonic when it requires a net input of energy; if the products contain more energy than the reactants. So, no an endergonic reaction takes in energy. An exergonic reaction releases energy. In an exergonic reaction, the reactants contain more energy than the products.


Is glycolysis Endergonic or exergonic?

Glycogen is a storage polysaccharide made up of glucose units.The synthesis of glycogen is endergonic. That is energy has to be supplied for the synthesis process.The breakdown of glycogen is exergonic. that is energy is primarily released during the process.

Compare and contrast between exergonic and endergonic reactions?

Exergonic vs. Endergonic reactions: exergonic release more energy than they absorb. Endergonic reactions absorb more energy than they release.Exergonic reactions release energy while endergonic reactions absorb energy.
