Answer:

Exergonic reaction

Explanation:

  • A chemical reaction which is associated with a release of energy and thus, is associated with a negative free energy change is said to be an exergonic reaction.
  • An exergonic reaction owing to the negative free energy change is a spontaneous reaction.
  • The energy that is released in the exergonic reaction is usually observed  in the form of heat and light.
  • The energy is released due to the breaking of the chemical bonds.
  • Therefore, on burning of the firewood the bonds between the glucose molecules break up which leads to the release of energy in the form of heat and light and this is thus, an example of an exergonic reaction.

Dvinal [7]
Since the two species co-inhabit the same habitat, habitat isolation can be disregarded as a factor keeping the two species separate. There are however some other broad categories of mechanisms for <span>reproductive isolation. One is behaviour. Many birds in particular have very specific mating rituals, including mating dances, particular bird song, the development of specific mating plumage, the release of specific pheromones and the building of a particular nest structure. Another broad category is mechanical isolation. You will find that the genital organs of particular species are very specific, and preclude other close species from successfully mating. Another broad category is gametic isolation. For most species combinations, it is not possible for the gametes to fuse successfully to form a hybrid. If hybrid games do fuse, in many cases, the hybrids are sterile, such as mules for example.     </span>

The chemical processes that occur within a cell are affected by many factors. Optimum cell function occurs within a narrow range
frosja888 [35]
The chemical processes that occur within a cell are affected by many factors. Optimum cell function will not occur due to the following factors: 1. These chemical processes are very sensitive to the temperature and the pH of the cell. If the cell's temperature is either too high or too low, the cell cannot function efficiently. The same can be said for a cell's pH. Enzymes are most active during a limited pH range. If the pH moves outside of this range, the cell's enzymes cannot function efficiently.
2. Cofactors and Coenzymes. Many enzymes and cell functions require additional factors and enzymes to function efficiently. If the required enzymes are not present in the cell, the cell cannot function properly.
