endergonic is a reaction under which energy is stored in a chemical reaction in which the standard change in free energy is positive, and energy is absorbed.

∙ 14y agoEndergonic denotes a process that takes in energy, as opposed to exergonic, which denotes a process that releases energy. So endergonic metabolism would be the stage of metabolism in which energy is taken in. As heterotrophic (do not make our own food in our bodies) animals, we acquire energy from food. Our endergonic stage of metabolism would be consumption, eating food. Plants and many bacteria are autotrophic (make their own food in their bodies) and acquire energy from the sugars made in photosynthesis, so their endergonic stage of metabolism would be photosynthesis.

Is protein folding endergonic or exergonic?
it is endergonic because it reduces entropy
What is the process of active transport a. Exergonic or b. endergonic?
It is b. endergonic because active transport uses ATP for energy.
A biosynthetic pathway can be characterized as?
Endergonic
Is the pathway b-c is coupled with ADP-atp catagorize the reactions as endergonic or exergonic?
ADP-ATP is endergonic and B-C is exergonic
Is the Calvin cycle endergonic or exergonic?
Yes, the Calvin cycle is endergonic because it uses ATP molecules rather than creates them.
Is joining two glucose molecules to make maltose an endergonic reaction or exergonic reactions?
anabolic, endergonic, non spontaneous
Compare and contrast between exergonic and endergonic reactions?
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.
Is protein folding endergonic or exergonic?
it is endergonic because it reduces entropy
Do endergonic reactions release energy?
No they do not. An endergonic reaction requires a net input of energy to force it to occur.
Is dehydration synthesis an exergonic or endergonic reaction?
Dehydration synthesis is endergonic because it requires energy
Is photosynthesis endergonic?
Yes, it is.
Photosynthesis is an endergonic reaction. Why?
As opposed to an EX [as in expel] -ergonic chemical reaction, endergonic reactions absorb energy.
What is the process of active transport a. Exergonic or b. endergonic?
It is b. endergonic because active transport uses ATP for energy.
What is the differences between exothermic reaction and endergonic reaction?
exothermic reaction releases energy and endergonic reaction absorbs energy
A biosynthetic pathway can be characterized as?
Endergonic
What happens during an endergonic reaction?
