Question

An endergonic reaction refers to a chemical reaction in which: Energy is being released as the reaction proceeds • Energy is being absorbed as the reaction proceeds Energy is not required for the reaction Energy is neutral and has reached an equilibrium

Answer 1

Answer: Energy is being absorbed as the reaction proceeds

Explanation:

Endergonic reactions are defined as the reactions in which energy of the product is greater than the energy of the reactants. The total energy is absorbed in the form of heat and $\Delta H$ for the reaction comes out to be positive.

Exergonic reactions are defined as the reactions in which energy of the product is lesser than the energy of the reactants. The total energy is released in the form of heat and $\Delta H$ for the reaction comes out to be negative.

Thus an endergonic reaction refers to a chemical reaction in which Energy is being absorbed as the reaction proceeds.
