In biochemical pathways, exergonic reactions- those that involve a release of free energy - occur without the net input of energy; endergonic reactions - those that require the addition of energy - do not.
The reaction occurs because other release of energy from the exergonic reaction is greater than the input of energy required to drive the synthesis of ATP.
