Document Summary
Exergonic bc releasing atp, catabolic bc glucose breaking down in the products have a increase in molecules. Dehydration and hydrolysis: many biochemical reactions involve water. H and -oh groups added or removed during the reaction: removal of water during synthesis reactions, addition of water during breakdown reactions. This two processes are going to be conducted by a enzyme. True: bc this is the way that atp energy is transferred in the reaction. True: catalysis is catabolic breaking down of atp into adp. The addition to phosphate to this molecular makes it less stable, more unstable, willing to react in the next stage. enzyme bc it just doesn"t collide with this product molecular and transferre to a phosphate. It"s a enzyme that designed specifically for this purpose which transfers the phosphate from that atp to the reactant molecular. True: this is the reason why we do this energy coupling.
