MSG is mistakenly thought of as being high in sodium. However, MSG contains only one-third the amount of sodium as table salt (MSG contains about 12 percent sodium while table salt contains 39 percent sodium). Moreover, MSG represents a minor contribution to the overall sodium level of a typical diet.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Jump to: navigation, search ... An endergonic reaction is a chemical re action in which the change in free energy is positive. An endergonic reaction is a re action in which Î´G 0 in Gibbs free energy, in contrast to an exothermic re action, which uses Î´H as in enthalpy. See also: exergonic reaction. '/ ...
Thus, it speeds up the reaction process. The energy for an endergonic reaction is obtained by coupling the reaction with an exergonic reaction. A familiar example of coupling exergonic reactions to endergonic reactions to promote spontaneity comes from ATP.
