Potential Energy
5
First Law of Thermodynamics Energy can be transferred or transformed but it cannot be created or destroyed
6
Second Law of Thermodynamics Every energy transfer or transformation increases the entropy of the Universe
7
Free Energy Gibbs Equation G = H – T S G – Change in Free energy H – Change in Total energy T – Absolute temperature in Kelvin S – Change in Entropy
8
Free Energy and Metabolism
9
Exergonic Reactions Release of energy -G-G Spontaneous Downhill More energy in reactants than in products Ex. Cellular Respiration -686 kcal/mol Ex. ATP ADP + P -7.3 kcal/mol Endergonic Reactions Absorbs energy +G+G Nonspontaneous Uphill More energy in products than in reactants Ex. Photosynthesis +686 kcal/mol Ex. ADP + P ATP +7.3 kcal/mol
