An endergonic reaction is a chemical process where the energy required to break bonds in the reactants is greater than the energy released when new bonds form in the products, resulting in a net absorption of energy. These reactions are non-spontaneous and require an input of energy, often in the form of ATP, to proceed in biological systems.

A chemical process involves the transformation of raw materials into desired products through chemical reactions, often facilitated by catalysts and occurring under controlled conditions. These processes are fundamental in industries such as pharmaceuticals, petrochemicals, and food production, and are designed to maximize efficiency, yield, and safety while minimizing waste and environmental impact.

Products are tangible or intangible items offered to a market to satisfy a want or need, encompassing goods, services, and experiences. They are central to business strategies, requiring careful consideration of design, quality, branding, and lifecycle management to meet consumer expectations and achieve competitive advantage.

Biological systems are complex networks of biologically relevant entities that interact to form the structure and function of living organisms, ranging from molecular systems within cells to entire ecosystems. Understanding these systems requires a multidisciplinary approach, integrating biology, chemistry, physics, and computational sciences to model and analyze their dynamic behaviors and interactions.
