Question

learning: chapter 02: sections 1 - 4 question when we consume food and process it in our cells, we extract energy from it. a type of chemical reaction in which the amount of energy released is greater than the activation energy needed to start the reaction is called a(n) ____________. answer synthesis reaction endergonic reaction exergonic reaction anabolic reaction i dont know yet

Explanation:

Exergonic reactions release energy. The energy released is greater than the activation - energy required to start the reaction. In contrast, endergonic reactions absorb energy, synthesis reactions build molecules, and anabolic reactions are a type of synthesis reaction that build complex molecules in living organisms.

Answer:

C. exergonic reaction
