The reaction that makes a firefly glow in terms of energy is referred to as exergonic. This would be an output.
The firefly's glowing reaction is classified as chemiluminescence, which involves a chemical reaction that produces light without producing heat. Energy is released in the form of light as a result of the oxidation of luciferin by the enzyme luciferase in the firefly's body.
Efficiency compares the useful energy output of a system to the total energy input. It provides a measure of how well a system converts input energy into useful output energy.
Input energy is typically more useful than output energy because input energy is the initial energy put into a system to produce the desired output. Output energy, on the other hand, is the energy produced by the system after losses and inefficiencies have occurred, so it is usually less than the input energy. By maximizing input energy efficiency, we can achieve a more effective output.
It is the opposite of an exergonic reaction. An energonic reaction would be one where more energy is put into the reaction than what comes out of it (like endothermic), while exergonic has more output energy than input (like exothermic).
Efficiency = ( useful energy output / total energy input ) x 100

In chemical reactions, energy is either released (exothermic) or absorbed (endothermic). Energy input is required to break bonds in reactants, and energy output is released when new bonds form in products. The difference between energy input and output determines if a reaction is exothermic or endothermic.
Energy output refers to the amount of usable energy obtained from a system, while energy input is the amount of energy required to operate that system. A system is considered efficient when the energy output is greater than the energy input. Conversely, inefficiency occurs when more energy is put into a system than what is obtained as output.
The output force will be 100N, assuming the system is ideal with no energy losses. This is based on the principle of conservation of energy, where input energy equals output energy in an ideal system.
Energy efficiency compares the energy output of a system to its energy input. It indicates how much of the input energy is converted into useful output energy, with higher efficiency values indicating less energy wasted.
The result (ratio) of such a comparison is called the efficiency. Note that total energy output must be equal to energy input (conservation of energy); however, what is relevant for this comparison is the useful energy output.
In general, no – energy input is not usually greater than energy output. In a closed system, energy is conserved, meaning that the total amount of energy remains constant. However, in real-world systems, there may be inefficiencies or losses that result in some energy input being converted into forms that are not useful as output.
