Endergonic means "absorbing energy in the form of work." Endergonic reactions are not spontaneous. An exergonic reaction is a chemical reaction where the change in the free energy is negative, indicating a spontaneous reaction.

∙ 13y agoHow about endo- from "endow"... An endothermic chemical reaction 'gives off heat energy to the surroundings', whereas the endergonic chemical reaction draws heat energy from the environs.

A chemical reaction that absorbs free energy?
Can be called endothermic.
Is photosynthesis an exothermic or endothermic reaction?
Yes photosynthesis is a endergonic process i.e. energy-requiring process.
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
Is the reaction between citric acid an sodium endothermic or exothermic?
Endothermic
What is the difference between an exothermic and an endothermic chemical reaction?
Nothing to explain; that is the way EXO- and ENDOthemic reactions are called by definition
A chemical reaction that absorbs free energy?
Can be called endothermic.
What kind of reaction is photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis is a Endergonic/Endothermic reaction.
Is dehydration synthesis an exergonic or endergonic reaction?
Dehydration synthesis is endergonic because it requires energy
A chemical reaction that requires a net input of energy?
"Activation Energy reactions"; Endothermic reactions require energy.
Is photosynthesis an exothermic or endothermic reaction?
Yes photosynthesis is a endergonic process i.e. energy-requiring process.
What is the different between endothermic and endothermic?
The difference between endothermic and exothermic energy is that exothermic energy is the reaction that releases energy and endothermic is the reaction in ehich energy is absorbed.
Process requiring energy are termed what?
Endergonic; if the energy is supplied in the form of heat, endothermic.
Does the chemical equation of ATP release exergonic exothermic or absorb energy endergonic endothermic?
Releases energy. Exergonic.
What is a chemical reaction in which more energy is taken in than given off?
Exothermic Reaction
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 ectothermic and endothermic?
endothermic is when something changes from to hot to cold and ectothermic is when something changes from cold to hot.
A reaction is taking place in a beaker and the outside of the beaker goes very cold What kind of reaction is taking place?
Endergonic/endothermic
