In this way, the reactions are "coupled." The usual partner for coupling exergonic reactions is ADP (capturing energy as ATP); the usual partner for coupling endergonic reations is ATP (reforming ADP).
Yes, endergonic reactions have activation energy--by definition, there is a larger activation energy to overcome for a reaction proceeding in the endergonic direction than in the exergonic direction.
Heat speeds up a reaction by raising the energy level of the reactants (the molecules are moving faster), and results in a higher rate of collisions and collisions with more force, both of which increase the number of collisions that result in transferring enough energy to overcome the activation energy barrier.

Indeed, one can think of the energy required to drive forward the endergonic dehydration synthesis reaction as energy that becomes trapped in chemical bonds and associated with electrons that are now farther from atomic nuclei than they otherwise might be (in fact, were).
For a chemical reaction to happen at all, it must either be spontaneous or energy must be supplied to drive the reaction forward.
Note that this reaction requires energy (i.e., it is endergonic) which is true in general for dehydration synthesis (i.e., dehydration synthesis is an example of an anabolic reaction)
