Question

What are the features of an energy-requiring reaction? Select all that apply. Small molecules are converted into complex organic compounds. The reaction requires an input of energy. The reaction results in the output of energy. Complex organic compounds are broken down into small molecules.

Answer 1

Answer:

-Small molecules are converted into complex organic compounds.

-The reaction requires an input of energy

Explanation:

Reactions in nature can either be energy-requiring or energy-releasing. Reactions that require energy are called ENDERGONIC reactions i.e. energy is needed to start the reaction provees. They are characterized by the INPUT OF ENERGY.

Also, when small molecules are converted into complex organic compounds by combining together in a process called ANABOLISM, energy is needed to put together the molecules to form a much larger complex molecules. Hence, it is a feature of energy-requiring reactions.
