When an energy-requiring reaction is driven by an energy-yielding reaction,it is called a/an
A) Exergonic reaction
B) Endergonic reaction
C) Endo-exergonic reaction
D) Coupled reaction

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A coupled reaction involves linking two reactions together, where energy from an exergonic reaction is used to drive an endergonic reaction. This allows for the overall energy change to be negative, making the reaction spontaneous. Therefore, the best choice is D, coupled reaction.
