A reaction's ability to proceed depends upon reaction spontaneity, measured though Gibbs Free Energy, or ΔG (delta G). When the value for ΔG is negative, a reaction proceeds under normal conditions, and when it is positive, it will not (but can be manipulated into doing so). A most obvious example would be temperature because certain reactions need to reach the activated complex to obtain enough potential energy to occur.

Describe the role of energy in chemical reactions?

Energy is required to break bonds between atoms in reactant molecules, allowing them to rearrange into new products. This energy is called activation energy. Some reactions release energy, called exothermic reactions, while others absorb energy, called endothermic reactions. Overall, energy is essential for driving chemical reactions and determining whether they proceed or not.


Is it true or false that all chemical reactions require an initial input of energy called catalysis?

False. Not all chemical reactions require catalysis. Some reactions occur spontaneously, while others may require an initial input of energy in the form of activation energy. Catalysis is a process that lowers the activation energy required for a reaction to occur, but it is not necessary for all reactions.

The place where light reactions occur in a plant?

it occurs in the chloroplast / stroma oh and light reactions can only occur in a plant and some protists because only plants and some protists can perform photosynthesis, and it is in this process which light reactions occur. other cells don't have chloroplast and stromas.

How are the dark reactions that occur in plants dependent on the light-reactions?

The dark reactions that occur in plants are dependent on the light reactions because the dark reactions need ATP and NADPH. ATP and NADPH are energy molecules that dark reactions need to do their job.
