Document Summary

Bioenergetics: how living systems make use of free energy, the study of energy transformations in living systems, how organisms, gain energy, channel energy, use energy. Link between bioenergetics and metabolism: energy is harnessed from a variety of metabolism pathways like cellular respiration, glycolysis and photosynthesis, energy harnessed is often stored in chemical bonds and high energy compounds like. It is then used by enzymes to make and break chemical bonds. Free energy: life requires free energy, free energy = a thermodynamic quantity equivalent to the capacity of a physical system to do work, gibbs free energy value (delta g) determines whether a reaction will occur. Energy coupling: endergonic reactions can be driven by coupling them to exergonic reactions, free energy changes are addictive. Recycling of atp: metabolic processes that use atp as an energy source convert is back into its precursors, humans turn over the equivalent of their own body weight in atp each day.
