Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Reactions that have a negative ∆G release free energy and are called exergonic reactions. (Handy mnemonic: EXergonic means energy is EXiting the system.) A negative ∆G means that the reactants, or initial state, have more free energy than the products, or final state.
Detailed explanation-2: -Exergonic reactions release energy; endergonic reactions require energy to proceed.
Detailed explanation-3: -An exergonic reaction (such as cellular respiration) is a reaction that releases free energy in the process of the reaction.
