Which of the descriptions below is an example of an exergonic reaction? A)synthesis of ATP from ADP and ℗_i B)a dehydration reaction between two monosaccharides to produce a disaccharide C)formation of a peptide bond D)hydrolysis of glycogen to release glucose monomers

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a hydrolysis reaction, a larger molecule is broken down into smaller molecules with the addition of a water molecule. This process releases energy, making it an exergonic reaction. Choice A is an endergonic reaction, as it requires energy to synthesize ATP. Choice B is a dehydration synthesis reaction, which also requires energy input, making it endergonic. Choice C is a condensation reaction, which is also endergonic.
