Catabolic: long cellulose polymers are broken down into carbon dioxide, water, and carbon monoxide gases. Exergonic: can be used to do work Spontaneous: once started the reaction will reach completion by itself, driven by a very positive change in entropy. However the reaction has a high activation energy. Therefore it is thermodynamically favourable but kinetically unfavourable.
The reaction of breaking apart ATP and a phosphate to produce heat is an exergonic reaction. It releases energy in the form of heat. This process is spontaneous because it occurs without the need for an input of additional energy.
Forming a triacylglyceride from three fatty acids and glycerol is an anabolic reaction that is endergonic (requires energy input) and non-spontaneous under normal cellular conditions.
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.
Exergonic reactions release energy and are spontaneous, while endergonic reactions require energy input and are non-spontaneous. ATP is used to drive endergonic reactions by providing the necessary energy for them to occur. ATP is regenerated through exergonic reactions by capturing the energy released during these reactions.
The equation you provided describes photosynthesis, which is an endergonic process because it requires energy input to convert carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and sugars. Endergonic processes require energy to proceed and are not spontaneous.
A catabolic reaction is typically exergonic, meaning it releases energy.
No, catabolic pathways are exergonic processes.
Catabolic: cellulose is broken down to carbon dioxide, water, and carbon monoxide. Exergonic: energy is released which can be used for work. Spontaneous: once the reaction is started, it will go to completion.

Enzymes are major biological molecules that are important for the metabolic processes that sustain life (anabolic= endergonic, nonspontaneous; catabolic= exergonic, spontaneous; anabolic processes+catabolic processes=metabolism). Enzymes' main function in chemical reactions is to catalyze them, or speed them up (i.e. they are catalysts). While most types of enzymes are proteins, there are a few RNA enzymes known as ribozymes. Enzymes almost always end with the suffix -ase.

a non spontaneous reaction is a reaction that doesnt occur naturally and it normally tends to favor the reactants of a chemical reaction. Another thing is that it doesnt really produce free energy
Anabolism is an endergonic process.
