Why are these reactions for gluconeogenesis
exergonic?
I get that Glucose 6-phosphate -> glucose and fructose
1,6-biphosphate -> fructose 6 phosphate release Pi, but doesn't
the formation of formation of oxaloacetate and phosphoenolpyruvate
require energy ( ATP and GTP)
It is important here to understand the meaning of exergonic. Exergonic means release of energy. Association with ATP is one of the situations where a reaction can be exergonic but it necessarily is not one of the conditions for a reaction to be exergonic.
In the above mentioned reactions involving conversion of Pyruvate to Oxaloacetate or conversion of Glucose - 6 - Phosphate to Glucose, you will notice that a phosphate bond is broken (either in ATP or Glucose - 6 - Phosphate). This bond breakage results in the release of a phosphate molecule.
Hyrdolysis of phosphate bonds in both cases results in the release of energy due to which they are categorized as exergonic reactions.
