If an organic compound like glucose undergoes hydrolysis then the reaction is exergonic. True or false?

1 Answer

Answer :

False. It cannot be exergonic considering the nature of the pyranose ring, a strong structure that requires high pressures and temperatures in order to break it. There is a reference from 1995 [Glucose hydrolysis and oxidation in supercritical water. AIChE Journal, 41, 637 (1995)] where the authors detail the hydrolysis and oxidation of glucose in supercritical water at 246 bar and at 425 to 600ºC. On the other hand, in metabolic conditions, glucose undergoes the glycolysis pathway, a series of transformations from glucose to pyruvate in order to enter the Krebs cycle and to produce ATP in oxidative phosphorylations thereafter. The final balance of glycolysis (from glucose to ATP) is exergonic, that's the reason of why the body (in higher organisms) generates heat.

Description : Contrast and compare exergonic reactions versus endergonic reactions. Which reaction type matches with anabolic reactions? Which matches with catabolic reactions?

Last Answer : Exergonic is when energy is released. In contrast, endergonic requires energy; it absorbs free energy. Magnitude of ΔG for an exergonic reaction represents the max amount of work a reaction can ... In that train of thought, endergonic would match with anabolic, as energy is consumed/required.
