NURSING ANM AND GNM

Detailed explanation-1: -Photosynthesis is an endergonic reaction, as it requires input of energy to synthesize carbohydrate.

Detailed explanation-2: -Photosynthesis is an endergonic (energy-consuming) process. Cellular respiration is an exergonic (energy-releasing) process.

Detailed explanation-3: -Photosynthesis is an endergonic reaction because plants cannot initiate the process of photosynthesis until they absorb light energy. Chlorophyll in the plant’s cells absorbs the light energy, and once absorbed, that energy is used for the photosynthesis reaction to occur.

Detailed explanation-4: -The positive sign of the standard free energy change of the reaction (G°) given above means that the reaction requires energy (an endergonic reaction). The energy required is provided by absorbed solar energy, which is converted into the chemical bond energy of the products (Box 1).

Detailed explanation-5: -In this case, the products, or final state, have more free energy than the reactants, or initial state. Endergonic reactions are non-spontaneous, meaning that energy must be added before they can proceed.
