In cells, what is usually the immediate source of energy for an endergonic reaction? ATP as spontaneous reactions, endergonic reactions do not need an addition of energy ADP glucose sugar

When cells are placed in hypotonic solutions, both animal and plant cells accumulate water as a result of osmosis. This causes the cells to swell. Why can plant cells better tolerate hypotonic solutions? Plants have contractile vacuoles that continually bail out excess water that enters plant cells. Sunlight causes plant cells to lose water through transpiration. Stomata in plant cell leaves quickly drain excess water from the cells. Animal cells can burst in such situations. In plants, however, rigid cell walls limit how far cells can expand and exert a back pressure to limit further water uptake.

What best explains the observation that enzymes are selective in the reactions they catalyze? There is a precise compatibility between an enzyme's active site and the substrate molecule.
