**Explanation for educators:**

- **Exergonic reactions**: These are reactions that release energy, often in the form of heat, light, or electrical energy.
- **Energetic reactions**: This term is less specific and is not typically used in scientific literature to describe energy-releasing reactions.
- **Endergonic reactions**: Opposite of exergonic, these reactions absorb energy from their surroundings.
- **Metabolic reactions**: Refers to all the biochemical processes that occur within a living organism, encompassing both energy-releasing and energy-absorbing reactions.
- **Enzymatic reactions**: These involve enzymes, which act as catalysts to speed up chemical reactions but do not necessarily involve energy release.

Educators might use this question format to assess students’ understanding of basic biochemical concepts related to energy dynamics in chemical reactions.
