A net input of energy from the surroundings is required for the reaction to proceed.
The reaction proceeds with a net release of free energy.
The products have more total energy than the reactants.
The reaction goes only in a forward direction: all reactants will be converted to products, but no products will be converted to reactants.

The statement that best describes an exergonic reaction is:
The reaction proceeds with a net release of free energy.
Exergonic reactions release free energy, which means they can occur spontaneously under standard conditions. The other options provided do not accurately describe exergonic reactions.
