Question

chemical reactions that release energy are called ________ reactions.
multiple choice
○ catalytic
○ endergonic
○ exergonic
○ inert

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• "catalytic" refers to reactions involving a catalyst (speeds up reaction, not about energy release).
• "endergonic" reactions absorb energy (opposite of releasing).
• "exergonic" reactions release energy (matches the description).
• "reupt" is not a term related to energy - releasing chemical reactions.

Answer:

C. exergonic (assuming the third option is labeled C, with the text "exergonic")
