Question: Explain the following terms: endergonic reaction exergonic reaction potential energy active site metabolism cofactor activation energy kinetic energy substrate free energy enzyme Answer the following questions: 1. Describe the difference between anabolic and catabolic pathways and give an example of each.

2019年1月8日 · When a catabolic reaction occurs, the large molecule is broken into smaller molecules with the breaking of chemical bonds that held them together. The bond is broken and energy stored in the bonds are released. That is why for most of …

2021年9月1日 · No. Exergonic reactions may be both exothermic or endothermic. Endergonic reactions are endothermic only. Endergonic and exergonic relate to changes in free energy (delta G), while endothermic and exothermic are related to changes in enthalpy (delta H). Gibb’s equation written in form of free energy (G), enthalpy (H) and entropy (S) changes:

2016年12月11日 · Forcing T higher will always favor a condensation reaction as typically $\Delta S_\text{condensation} > 0$ due to release of water. That all (or most, anyway) biological condensation reactions are endergonic is hopefully the case, as otherwise biology would be unable to control the conversion by providing the energy to enable it. If there is an ...

2013年7月11日 · Has a more chemical meaning - it relates to the spontaneity of the reaction; thus it always means that a reaction is feasible, i.e. reaction will always happen. In summary, whereas, an exergonic reaction means that a reaction is spontaneous, an exothermic reaction has nothing to do with spontaneity, but that an energy is released to the ...

2021年2月21日 · An endergonic reaction is one that has a positive Gibbs free energy change, such that energy is taken in for the reaction to take place; in biological systems the very exergonic breakdown of ATP is a major source.

2020年12月3日 · This allows two chemicals to react and emit light in the form of chemiluminescence. Is the reaction exergonic or endergonic? Explain. Answer. Answer key [1, p. A-8]: The reaction is exergonic because it releases energy—in this case, in the form of light. (This is a nonbiological version of the bioluminescence seen in Figure 8.1.) From [1, p ...

First, understand that an endergonic reaction is one where the Gibbs free energy change, , is positive, indicating that the products have higher free energy than the reactants. Step 1 Thermodynamics in biochemistry is the subject area with which one considers the energy changes invol...

Question: CHAPTER 4-1: Energy And Enzymes Key terms: endergonic reaction exergonic reaction ATP energy coupling kinetic energy substrate potential energy active site activation energy free energy enzyme metabolism cofactor coenzyme On A Separate Piece of Paper Answer the following questions: 1. Describe each of the laws of thermodynamics. 2.

Enzymes increase reaction rate by Select one: A. removing the activation energy of a reaction. B. converting an exergonic reaction to an endergonic reaction. C. raising the activation energy of a reaction. D. decreasing the energy required to initiate reaction.
