Catabolic reactions give out energy. They are exergonic. In a catabolic reaction large molecules are broken down into smaller ones. For example, the reverse of the condensation reactions described above, i.e. hydrolysis reactions, are catabolic.
An exergonic reaction is catabolic. A catabolic reaction is the process of breaking down complex macromolecules into smaller subunits while releasing energy in the process. An â¦ exergonic reaction is an energy releasing reaction hence why it is a catabolic reaction.
