Exergonic and endergonic reactions differ in that A. exergonic reactions have a positive free energy change (DG is positive) and endergonic reactions have a negative free energy change (DG is negative). B. exergonic reactions require an input of energy and endergonic reactions release free energy. C. exergonic reactions produce products with less free energy than the reactants; endergonic reactions produce products with more free energy than the reactants. D. exergonic reactions consume more free energy than is released and endergonic reactions release more free energy than is consumed.
