Question

the energy for an endergonic reaction comes from a(n) ____ reaction.
synthesis
adp + p → atp
anabolic
exergonic
glucose + glucose → maltose

Explanation:

• An endergonic reaction is one that requires energy input.
• An exergonic reaction releases energy.
• The energy for an endergonic reaction typically comes from an exergonic reaction.
• Synthesis (e.g., \(ADP + P

ightarrow ATP\) and \(glucose + glucose
ightarrow maltose\)) and anabolic reactions are usually endergonic as they build complex molecules (require energy).

Answer:

exergonic
