Exergonic reactions

  • A.release potential energy
  • B.consume energy
  • C.form bonds
  • D.occur only outside the cell

Answer: A

Correct answer: release potential energy

An exergonic reaction has a negative \(\Delta G\): the products hold less free energy than the reactants, so energy is released and the reaction proceeds spontaneously. Endergonic reactions consume energy and must be coupled to an exergonic one to go at all.
