It means that the Gibbs free energy of the reaction is negative. In other words it's a spontaneous reaction.

The result are the reaction products; an endergonic reaction need energy (absorb) to start.

What happens during an endergonic reaction?

An endergonic reaction is a chemical reaction in which the standard change in free energy is positive, and energy is absorbed. To view the source and read more about endergonic reactions go to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endergonic_reaction


What is the differences between exothermic reaction and endergonic reaction?

exothermic reaction releases energy and endergonic reaction absorbs energy


Photosynthesis is an endergonic reaction. Why?

As opposed to an EX [as in expel] -ergonic chemical reaction, endergonic reactions absorb energy.


What is the difference between exergonic and endergonic reaction?

Endergonic takes energy in to make a reaction. Exergonic releases energy when the reaction happens. An example of endergonic would be when plants use photosynthesis. Carbon dioxide and water molecules would be the reactants and when the plant absorbs energy like the sun, the turn it into sugar molecules that are high in energy. An example of an exergonic reaction would be wood burning. Heat and light is released.
