Energy and Glycolysis Flashcards
what is gibb’s free energy
energy capable of doing work
what is enthalpy
the heat content of the reacting system
what is entropy
quantitative expression of the randomness or disorder in the system
deltaG=
deltaH - TdeltaS
if delta G is negative
net loss of free energy
spontaneous
exergonic
it is exergonic if
delta G is negative
if delta G is positive
Net Gain of Free Energy
Not Spontaneous
Endergonic
if it is endergonic
delta G is positive
draw graph of negative delta G
pg 6
draw graph of positive delta G
pg 6
what does H stand for
enthalpy
what does S stand for
entropy
the more positive S, the more
thermodynamically favorable rxn will be
how does positive S make rxn more favorable
Ie a positive ΔS tends to make ΔG more negative or exergonic. This is why an ice cube will melt spontaneously at room temperature (the water molecules are becoming more disordered or gaining entropy) even though ice melting is an endothermic reaction (absorbs heat energy).
what does delta G tell us about the reaction
if it will take place, but can only tell based on initial and final states
standard delta G is energy change when reactants and products are at concenctrations of
1 mol/L
biochemical standard for delta G is energy change at what pH
7
look up delta G in my biochem book
lda;lfkj
do practice problems from my biochem gbook for delta G

delta G 0 =
-RT ln Keq
delta G = delta G0 +
RT ln [B]/[A]
negative delta G
favor product
log 1 =
0
what is so important about ATP
high energy phosphate bonds
