Question

An endergonic process _______

1) has a +ΔG.
2) has a -ΔG.
3) is also exergonic.
4) can proceed if coupled to a high -ΔG reaction if the composite ΔG is negative.

Answer 1

An endergonic process has a +ΔG and requires energy to proceed. It can proceed if coupled to a high -ΔG reaction where the overall ΔG is negative. Endergonic processes are opposite to exergonic processes.

Step-by-step explanation:

An endergonic process has a +ΔG and requires energy to proceed. It is opposite to exergonic processes which release energy. Endergonic processes are non-spontaneous and can proceed if coupled to a high -ΔG reaction, where the overall ΔG is negative.
