When an organic compost pile is built correctly (sufficiently large, slightly moist, and containing a variety of organic materia

l), it tends to get hot. Which of the following best explains why a compost pile gets hot?
A. Solar energy hitting the pile causes photosynthetic microorganisms in the pile to begin working and releasing the stored energy as heat.

B. Water molecules within the compost pile spontaneously break down and release their energy as heat.

C. The decomposers are breaking down energy-containing organic molecules for their own use and some of the energy escapes as heat.

D. The decomposers are constantly moving around within the compost pile and the friction of their motion heats up the pile.

Delicious77 [7]

Answer: Exergonic reaction; Endergonic reaction

In coupled reactions, the energy released by an exergonic reaction is used to drive an endergonic reaction. ATP breakdown is often coupled to cellular reactions that require an input of energy.

Explanation:

Cellular reactions include Exergonic and endergonic reactions. An exergonic reaction is one that occurs spontaneously and brings about the release of energy (in form of ATP). On the other hand, an endergonic reaction proceeds only with the input of energy.

Thus, exergonic reactions are usually coupled to endergonic reactions
