Which of the following describes catabolic reactions?
a.) They are endergonic and have a negative change in free energy.
b.) They are exergonic and have a positive change in free energy.
c.) They are exergonic and have a negative change in free energy.
d.) They are endergonic and have a positive change in free energy.
The correct option is C. In catabolic reactions energy are release into the surrounding and the energy of the product formed is less than that of the reactants, that is, there is negative energy change.
