Introduction: Both exergonic and endergonic reactions are type of chemical reactions that enable organisms to carry on their activities, such as growth, movement, repair, and their maintenance. The type of reaction in which energy is released to the surrounding is known as exergonic reaction. The type of reaction in which energy is absorbed from the surrounding is known as endergonic reaction.
