Chapter 6: Energy, Enzymes, and Metabolism Energy and Energy Conversions Changes in free energy, total energy, temperature, and entropy are related by the equation:Changes in free energy, total energy, temperature, and entropy are related by the equation: Total E = Usable E + Unusable E Total E = Usable E + Unusable E Free E = enthalpy – (Abs. Temp. x Entropy) Free E = enthalpy – (Abs. Temp. x Entropy)  G =  H – T  S Enthalpy = total energy Enthalpy = total energy Entropy = unusable energy Entropy = unusable energy Free Energy = usable energy Free Energy = usable energy

Chapter 6: Energy, Enzymes, and Metabolism Energy and Energy Conversions Spontaneous, exergonic reactions release free energy and have a negative  G. Non-spontaneous, endergonic reactions take up free energy, have a positive  G, and proceed only if free energy is provided. Review Figure

Chapter 6: Energy, Enzymes, and Metabolism Energy and Energy Conversions The change in free energy of a reaction determines its point of chemical equilibrium, at which forward and reverse reactions proceed at the same rate. For spontaneous, exergonic reactions, the equilibrium point lies toward completion. Review Figure
