Endergonic reaction

{
  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-003885",
  "term": "Endergonic reaction",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A chemical reaction that requires an input of energy from its surroundings to proceed, meaning the standard change in Gibbs free energy is positive. Such reactions are non-spontaneous and result in products with higher free energy than the reactants. In biological systems, endergonic reactions are often coupled with exergonic reactions to provide the necessary energy.",
