Exergonic reactions do not require activation energy to get started since they release energy.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This statement is incorrect. All chemical reactions require a certain amount of activation energy to get started, regardless of whether they are exergonic or endergonic. Exergonic reactions release energy as they proceed and have a negative change in free energy, while endergonic reactions require an input of energy and have a positive change in free energy.
