Detailed explanation-1: -Break down of ATP, NADH and carbohydrates reactions are exergonic reactions.
Detailed explanation-2: -The example of exergonic reactions occur in our body is cellular respiration: C6H12O6 (glucose) + 6 O2-> 6 CO2 + 6 H2O this reaction release energy which is used for cell activities. However, some exergonic reactions do not occur spontaneously and require a small input of energy to start the reaction.
Detailed explanation-3: -Cellular respiration is an exergonic (energy-releasing) process.
Detailed explanation-4: -Catabolism refers to the exergonic process by which energy released by the breakdown of organic compounds such as glucose can be used to synthesize ATP, the form of energy required to do cellular work.
Detailed explanation-5: -Exergonic reaction: reaction releases energy • Endergonic reaction: reaction requires energy • Coupled bioenergetic reactions: the energy released by the exergonic reaction is used to power the endergonic reaction. Energy transfer from one metabolic pathway to another by means of ATP.
