LECTURE 9 Flashcards
Metabolism in cell
Totality of chemical reactions in cell
Energy definition
Capacity for change, energy changes are associated with change in chemical structures and properties of molecules.
Two types of energy forms
1) kinetic energy
2) potential energy
Potential energy examples
Chemical energy, concentration gradients, electrical potential.
All reaction happen _____ in the …
Spontaneous in the direction that increase the entropy
Formula for change in free energy
Delta G = G final - G initial
If a reaction I’d spontaneous then G (free energy) is
Negative
If DELTA G is negative then some energy has been lost as
Entropy
In a closed system, the quantity of E
does not change, but the E can flow in different atoms
In every E transfer, some E is
Lost (as heat sometimes)
Free energy
Energy available to do work
In closed system, with multiple E transfers,
Free E (G) decreases and useful E increases
Entropy is always was ______ in the universe
Increasing
Entropy
A measure of disorder in the universe, and unuseful energy
Every E transfer makes the universe more
Disordered
Randomness in the universe ________ over time
Increases
When G < 0, then its
Exergonic
