Chapter 21, Problem 21.22UKC

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The type of reaction associated in linkage of fatty acid with coenzyme and the strategy behind the reaction should be identified.

Concept Introduction:

Exergonic: The reaction is considered as exergonic if energy released since the reactants loses its energy making the free energy more negative hence making it spontaneous reaction.

Endergonic: The reaction is considered as endergonic if it needs more energy means that activation energy is much higher making the reaction non spontaneous.

Coupled Reaction: When two reactions get dependent on each other in the way that energy required by one reaction provided by other reaction as it releases energy.
