The answer choices are :
endergonic; faster than
exergonic; faster than
exergonic; at the same rate as
exergonic; slower than
endergonic; slower than
The correct answer is exergonic; at the same rate as.
Exergonic reactions, also known as spontaneous reactions, release free energy and have a negative ∆G (the reactants have more free energy compared to the products).
Endergonic reactions, also known as non-spontaneous reactions, require free energy and have a positive ∆G (the reactants have less free energy compared to the products).
