Why are polymerization reactions endergonic?
A)They reduce entropy.
B)They release heat,making the reactant monomers move faster.
C)The condensation and hydrolysis reactions are equally spontaneous.
D)Polymers are energetically more stable and have lower potential energy than monomers do.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Polymerization reactions are endergonic because they reduce entropy by organizing monomers into a more ordered polymer structure, which requires an input of energy.
