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.
Endergonic reactions. In an endergonic reaction the free energy of the initial state is lower than the free energy of the final state. This kind of reaction is not termed a spontaneous reaction. In order to go from the initial state to the final state a considerable amount of energy must be imparted to the system.
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a type of organelle in the eukaryotic cells that forms an interconnected network of flattened, membrane-enclosed sacs or tube-like structures known as cisternae.
