Question

An example of an endergonic reaction is A. Breaking down ATP into ADP and P. B. Breaking a protein down into amino acids. C. Polymerizing a protein from amino acids. D. Breaking down glucose (using oxygen) to make CO2 and H2O.

Answer 1

C. Polymerizing a protein from amino acids.

Step-by-step explanation:

The polymerization of a protein from amino acids is an endergonic reaction. In such reactions, energy is used to drive chemical processes.

An endergonic reaction is a reaction in which energy must be supplied to make it happen.

In an exergonic reaction is a spontaneous reaction that can occur without the input of energy.

• The formation of protein is an endergonic process.
• It requires that sufficient amount of energy be supplied so that the amino-acids can be joined together.
