Catabolic: long cellulose polymers are broken down into carbon dioxide, water, and carbon monoxide gases. Exergonic: can be used to do work Spontaneous: once started the reaction will reach completion by itself, driven by a very positive change in entropy. However the reaction has a high activation energy. Therefore it is thermodynamically favourable but kinetically unfavourable.
Burning paper is catabolic, exergonic, and non-spontaneous. Activation energy in the form of heat is required in order to cause the chemical reaction.
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.
Anabolic, endergonic, non-spontaneous
a non spontaneous reaction is a reaction that doesnt occur naturally and it normally tends to favor the reactants of a chemical reaction. Another thing is that it doesnt really produce free energy
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.
exergonic is to endergonic
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.
Anabolic, endergonic, 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.

Enzymes are major biological molecules that are important for the metabolic processes that sustain life (anabolic= endergonic, nonspontaneous; catabolic= exergonic, spontaneous; anabolic processes+catabolic processes=metabolism). Enzymes' main function in chemical reactions is to catalyze them, or speed them up (i.e. they are catalysts). While most types of enzymes are proteins, there are a few RNA enzymes known as ribozymes. Enzymes almost always end with the suffix -ase.
it is endergonic because it reduces entropy
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.
a non spontaneous reaction is a reaction that doesnt occur naturally and it normally tends to favor the reactants of a chemical reaction. Another thing is that it doesnt really produce free energy
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.
Endergonic means "absorbing energy in the form of work." Endergonic reactions are not spontaneous. An exergonic reaction is a chemical reaction where the change in the free energy is negative, indicating a spontaneous reaction.
