The linking of an exergonic reaction to drive an endergonic reaction is called:
A) coupling
B) a state function
C) resonance
D) catabolsim

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Coupling is the process where the energy produced by an exergonic reaction (a reaction that releases energy) is used to drive an endergonic reaction (a reaction that requires energy). This is a common mechanism in cellular metabolism, where, for example, the energy from the hydrolysis of ATP is used to power various endergonic processes.
