lec 1 Flashcards
It is the study of energy transformation that accompanies biochemical reaction.
Bioenergetics
It describes the transfer and utilization of energy in biological system
Bioenergetics
Bioenergetics concerns the mechanism or how much time is needed for the chemical change to take place ( Rate) (T or F)
Write the correct answer
F,it is only concerns the initial and final energy state of reaction components.
Is the energy in asystem available to do useful work. It is stored within the structure of the molecule.
Free energy
Is the capacity of the molecule to release energy in a chemical reaction. Hence, it provide a measure of the energetic possibility of a chemical reaction to take place
Free energy
Is the amount of free energy derived from complete oxidation of food to CO2 +H2O.
Caloric value
What does -🔺️G mean ?
Means loss of energy and reaction goes spontaneously. The reaction is exergonic
What does +🔺️G mean?
Means gain of energy and reaction is not spontaneously going. The reaction is endergonic.
