Which statement BEST describes how energetically uphill reactions occur in the body?
A) Reactions that are not energetically uphill do not occur in the body.
B) Enzymes make these reactions occur at a reasonable rate.
C) The heat of the body drives these reactions.
D) They are coupled to energetically downhill reactions such as ATP hydrolysis.
E) Uphill reactions occur just like downhill ones do, without any input of energy.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Energetically uphill reactions are coupled with energetically downhill reactions, such as ATP hydrolysis, to provide the necessary energy to drive the reaction forward.
