Question
Chapter 6, Problem 1A
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The endergonic reactions are those reactions that require energy input from outside to initiate the reaction. These types of reactions are non-spontaneous and the energy from high energy compounds is used to drive the endergonic reactions in the cell.
