Coupled Reactions

Coupled reactions play a fundamental role in biological and chemical processes, exemplifying the interconnectedness of various reactions in sustaining life and driving chemical transformations. These reactions are characterized by the interdependence of two or more processes, where the energy released by one reaction fuels the energy requirement of another. In biological systems, coupled reactions are pivotal for the synthesis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the energy currency of cells, while in chemistry, they contribute to the dynamic equilibrium and efficiency of chemical reactions. Understanding the intricacies of coupled reactions provides insights into the energy flow and intricate balance within complex systems.
