Answers

Answer:
- A reaction in which the Gibbs energies of a thermodynamically favorable transformation, such as the hydrolysis of ATP, and a thermodynamically unfavorable transformation are mechanically combined (or can be viewed as such) to give rise to a new reaction.
- Coupling occurs when the energy released by an exergonic reaction combines with an endergonic reaction. The three phosphates of ATP are energetically bound to the main structure (nucleoside-adenosine).
Explanation:
- Coupling reaction is also known as conjugation reaction.
- A conjugation reaction is described as a reaction linked together and used to drive a second reaction with the release of the free energy of the reaction.
- Enzymes are catalysts that speed up reactions. Lower activation energy. The most important energy-producing enzyme for living cells is ATP.
