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.
Forming a triacylglyceride from three fatty acids and glycerol is an anabolic reaction that is endergonic (requires energy input) and non-spontaneous under normal cellular conditions.
The reaction of breaking apart ATP and a phosphate to produce heat is an exergonic reaction. It releases energy in the form of heat. This process is spontaneous because it occurs without the need for an input of additional energy.
The process is anabolic.
The anabolic reaction in metabolism is typically endergonic.
Anabolic metabolism is endergonic, meaning it requires energy input to build complex molecules.
Exergonic processes are typically catabolic, meaning they release energy by breaking down molecules.
Cellular respiration is a catabolic process.
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.
Joining two glucose molecules to make maltose is an endergonic reaction because it requires energy input to form a bond between the two molecules.
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.
