Which of the following is true for all exergonic reactions? The reaction releases energy. A net input of energy from the surroundings is required for the reactions to proceed. The reactions are rapid. The products have more total energy than the reactants. The reaction goes only in a forward direction: all reactants will be converted to products, but no products will be converted to reactants.

Jeffrey Hoffman · Answer 1

The reaction releases energy

Explanation:

The products of an exergonic reaction have a lower energy state (Delta-G) compared to the reactants. Therefore there is a negative delta - G between products and reactants after the reactions. This means some energy is lost into the environment usually through light or heat.
