Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Exergonic reactions have a negative ∆G and are spontaneous, meaning they occur without the input of external energy. Option A is incorrect because endergonic reactions have a positive ∆G and are not spontaneous. Option B is incorrect because endergonic reactions are not spontaneous.
