Definition of exergonic in English:

exergonic

adjectiveˌɛksəːˈɡɒnɪkˌeksərˈɡänik

Biochemistry

(of a metabolic or chemical process) accompanied by the release of energy.
The opposite of endergonic
Example sentencesExamples
- In this way, the energy released by the exergonic reaction can be partially harnessed to drive the endergonic one.
- With its highly exergonic free energy change, the flow of electrons through Complex I is more than adequate to drive ATP synthesis.
- Even if a reaction is exergonic (energy-releasing), it may not proceed if its activation energy is too high.
- The changes of mechanical power are supported by a sequence of exergonic processes that over the last decades have been the subject of extensive research in biochemistry and biophysics.
- In this strongly exergonic reaction, the high-energy phosphate of PEP is conserved as ATP.

Origin

1940s: from ex- ‘out of’ + Greek ergon ‘work’ + -ic.
