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.
When a cell uses chemical energy to perform work it uses the energy released from?
Exergonic reaction - which releases energy
What type of reaction is cellular respiration?
The reaction don't have to deal with the equation
How does an enzyme help a reaction occur?
All reaction, regardless of being exergonic, need energy to complete/go through the reaction. Enzymes lower that activation energy.
Is aerobic cellular respiration exergonic?
Yes, cellular respiration is an example of an exergonic reaction (releasing energy for usage) as opposed to photosynthesis (the plant's need the sun's energy to create glucose) an endergonic reaction.Why? Cellular respiration breaks down glucose molecules(which contain energy), so energy is released. The reactants start with a high level of energy(the reactants are whole glucose molecules) and the products are created with a low level of energy because energy is released. The energy that is released from this process can be used to perform work in the cell.No, it releases energy.
The process of using the products of an exergonic reaction to carry out an endergonic reaction is called?
Energy coupling

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
When a cell uses chemical energy to perform work it uses the energy released from?
Exergonic reaction - which releases energy
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.
What type of reaction is cellular respiration?
The reaction don't have to deal with the equation
What is a reaction called in which heat energy is absorbed?
when energy is absorbed it is called an endergonic reaction and when energy is released it is called an exergonic reaction
What is the difference between exergonic and endergonic reaction?
Endergonic takes energy in to make a reaction. Exergonic releases energy when the reaction happens. An example of endergonic would be when plants use photosynthesis. Carbon dioxide and water molecules would be the reactants and when the plant absorbs energy like the sun, the turn it into sugar molecules that are high in energy. An example of an exergonic reaction would be wood burning. Heat and light is released.
The energy for an endergonic reaction comes from what kind of reaction?
Exergonic
Why is an ATP an important molecule in metabolism?
It provides energy coupling between exergonic and endergonic reactions.
What can an exothermic reaction do?
Exergonic reactions are chemical reactions in which energy is released as heat.
