Exergonic Reactions

Exergonic Reactions

Exergonic Reactions release energy as they proceed, resulting in products with less energy than the reactants. These reactions are critical for processes like ATP Hydrolysis, where the release of energy powers cellular functions. For example, the breakdown of Glucose during Cellular Respiration is an exergonic reaction that fuels many metabolic pathways. Exergonic reactions are often coupled with Endergonic Reactions to ensure efficient energy use.
