Is an enzyme a source of energy for endergonic reactions?

an enzyme is a protein that catalyzes (increases the rates of) reactions by lowering the activation energy required for the reaction. enzymes catalyze all kinds of reactions, including endergonic reactions.


Do endergonic reactions release energy?

No they do not. An endergonic reaction requires a net input of energy to force it to occur.


Do endergonic reactions absorb more energy than they release?

Yes, endergonic reactions absorb more energy than they release because it is positive energy which is absorbed.
