Select the INCORRECT association.

A. enzyme... protein
B. exergonic... spontaneous
C. exergonic... uphill
D. kinetic energy... motion
E. potential energy... positional energy

What is energy coupling?

A. a barrier to the initiation of a reaction

Asked by toccaraoooooo

Answer (2)

The incorrect association is 'exergonic... uphill' because exergonic reactions release energy and are actually described as 'downhill'. Energy coupling refers to the process where the energy from exergonic reactions is used to drive endergonic reactions within biological systems.
