Which of the following is 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

Hydrolysis of glycogen to release glucose monomers is an exergonic reaction as energy is released during the breakdown process. Option A is an endergonic reaction as it requires energy to be synthesized. Option B is also endergonic as the process requires the input of energy to form a new bond. Option C is endergonic as it requires the input of energy to form a peptide bond.
