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. '/ ...
Exergonic reactions are chemical reactions that release energy in the form of heat. Typically, this energy is released when bonds are broken. More specifically, in humans, these reactions are called catabolic, which means that the molecules are being broken down into smaller components.
