Are catabolic pathways endergonic or exergonic reactions? Compare the amount of free energy in the reactants to the amount of free energy in the products of a catabolic pathway.

Catabolic reactions are exergonic.

Explanation:

Exothermic reactions are catabolic, that is, they catalyze molecules, disintegrate them to be able to release energy to the environment that surrounds them and that is how they release or yield to the environment.

ionic bonds are two oppositely charged ions that attract. a sodium ion has a 1 positive charge; a chloride ion has a 1 negative charge. sodium and chloride have oppostive charged ions that attract which forms an ionic bond. a chemical bond formed when two atoms share electrons is called

the correct answer is - d. china has a large and growing population.

the fact that china has a large (the biggest) population, and it is still growing, doesn't hinder the agriculture production in the country. in fact, it can for increased production in the agriculture, since there's more labor force, as well the sheer mass of people produces lots of scientists that come up with new inventions as to how to improve this sector. nice example is the inner mongolia region in china, in general dominated by the gobi desert, but few scientist came up with a nice idea as to how to make the region productive by using plants that are very resistant to droughts, so lots of people have been employed, and the region is becoming greener and greener each year, and the production of food in this region is also increasing.
