Exergonic reactions indicate a negative change in Gibbs free energy, which in English means that the reactions are spontaneous and do not require addition of energy. The exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in blood and lungs is an example. It is the concentration gradient that runs these exchanges passively, without additional energy from the cells.

∙ 15y agothere is no exogonic reaction: reactions are either endergonic or exergonic.
An exergonic reaction is a chemical reaction that releases energy in the form of heat, light, etc. ..
An endergonic reaction is the opposite being a reaction requiring the input of energy.

∙ 12y agoAn exergonic reaction is a chemical reaction where there is a release of Gibbs free energy, i.e. ∆G < 0, indicating a spontaneous reaction.
It is not the same as an exothermic reaction, which is an enthalpy matter (∆H < 0). (For the difference between G and H, enthalpy comes around the 'thermodynamic' corner:

Classify the reaction that makes a firefly glow in terms of energy input or output?
I believe the answer you are looking for is an exergonic reaction; it explains that some form of energy (light) is given of by the chemical reactions which make it glow.
A reaction that gives out energy?
... is an exothermic reaction (opposite of 'endothermic')
In which type of reaction does one reactant form two or more products?
A synthesis reaction, also called a combination reaction.A synthesis reaction, also called a combination reaction.
What is the nickname of Newton's third law?
"Action and reaction", or "For every action there is a reaction"."Action and reaction", or "For every action there is a reaction"."Action and reaction", or "For every action there is a reaction"."Action and reaction", or "For every action there is a reaction".
What is difference between Action and Reaction?
To every action there is a opposite reaction means reaction.
Is Combustion is an example of an exergonic reaction.?
Yes, combustion is an example of an exergonic reaction. During combustion, energy is released- making it an exergonic reaction.
A chemical reaction such as cellular respiration that releases free energy?
glucose and other food molecules
Is a glow sticks reaction endergonic or exergonic?
exergonic
Is burning wood an example of an exergonic or endergonic reaction?
Yes, combustion is an example of an exergonic reaction. During combustion, energy is released- making it an exergonic reaction.
What is true for all exergonic reaction?
One thing that is true for all exergonic reactions is that the reaction continues with a net release of what is called free energy. Exergonic reactions are chemical reactions.
The energy for an endergonic reaction comes from what kind of reaction?
Exergonic
Is oxidation endergonic?
Oxidation is an exergonic reaction.
In the body decomposition reaction are?
catabolic and exergonic
What is exogonic reaction?
there is no exogonic reaction: reactions are either endergonic or exergonic. An exergonic reaction is a chemical reaction that releases energy in the form of heat, light, etc. .. An endergonic reaction is the opposite being a reaction requiring the input of energy.
Which reaction cannot proceed without an activation energy?
An exergonic reaction
What is it called when energy is required to start a chemical reaction?
An exergonic reaction is activation energy (or energy of activation). An endergonic reaction is essentially the opposite of an exergonic reaction.
Is movement an exergonic reaction?
Yes, movement would be considered a type of exergonic reaction. It involves something having an outward release of energy to perform.
