Q

Exergonic

A

Proceeds with net release off free E and is spontaneous

19
Q

When G > 0 then its

A

Endergonic

20
Q

Endergonic

A

Absorbs free E from its surrounding tons and is NON-spontaneous

21
Q

How do cells increase order

A

Reactions are coupled

22
Q

If two systems change in a coupled fashion,

A

the net free E change of the combines systems determines f the reaction will proceed.

23
Q

What is considered the lowest grade of energy

A

Heat

24
Q

Heat increases the

A

Random, unordered movement of molecules
