Document Summary

Understand the difference between anabolic and catabolic pathways. Understand the first 2 laws of thermodynamics and how they relate to energy exchange. 1st law: energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be transferred and transformed. 2nd law: every time there is a transfer of energy, some of it gets transferred to heat. Know the free energy equation, and be able to calculate g. Delta g= delta h t delta s. Delta g- change in free energy, energy available to do work. T delta s is energy not available to do work. Know the characteristics of endergonic and exergonic reactions. Endergonic reaction is non spontaneous, energetically uphill, products have more energy than the reactants, positive delta g. exergonic reactions are spontaneous, energetically down hill, and their reactants have more energy than the products, negative delta g. Understand how atp hydrolysis provides energy for endergonic reactions. So it"s used to power reactions that require energy.
