Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A ____ reaction is a chemical reaction in which more energy is stored than released.
A
Endergonic
B
Exergonic
C
exocytosis
D
endothermic
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The reaction requires more energy than you get from it. Endergonic reactions absorb energy from their surroundings. The chemical bonds that are formed from the reaction are weaker than the chemical bonds that were broken. The free energy of the system increases.

Detailed explanation-2: -1: Exergonic and Endergonic Reactions: Exergonic and endergonic reactions result in changes in Gibbs free energy. Exergonic reactions release energy; endergonic reactions require energy to proceed.

Detailed explanation-3: -In an exergonic reaction, the reactants have more free energy than the products. Therefore, energy is released as the reaction proceeds. In an endergonic reaction, the reactants have more less energy than the products.

Detailed explanation-4: -In endothermic reactions, more energy is absorbed when the bonds in the reactants are broken than is released when new bonds are formed in the products.

Detailed explanation-5: -In an exergonic reaction, energy is released to the surroundings. The bonds being formed are stronger than the bonds being broken. In an endergonic reaction, energy is absorbed from the surroundings. The bonds being formed are weaker than the bonds being broken.
