Endothermic

... advice on the chemical equation for the breakdown of ATP. Does the reaction release energy (exergonic/exothermic) or absorb energy (endergonic/endothermic)? Much Appreciated

... they are hydrophobic) 3. a high heat capacity; doesn't change much; b on the microscale the water may buffer changes in temperature due to exo-/endothermic reactions 4. a as long as we are not talking about some aminosugars, it's true b definitely not true! Why? That's like saying Car does not ...

... All of the books I've read say that ATP provides the energy to power the cell. I can grasp that as an exothermic reaction, it can be coupled with endothermic reactions to make it exothermic overall, however, I'm not sure how this would apply to its use in powering proteins, like myosin or protein ...

... endotherms, and ectotherms. I've done some Googling and looking through my university textbook to try and distinguish between homeothermic and endothermic (and heterothermic vs. ectothermic) but I always seem to come across the same definition for both. The definitions I've found for homeotherms ...

@mith I think it has something to do with solubility on different temperatures(making solution can be endothermic or egzothermic,it depends on salt)..and fractional crystalization.. KCl? I think he should add KNO3?
