Document Summary

Enzymes : proteins that catalyze (facilitate) chemical reactions. Most cellular reaction require speci c enzymes to occur ef ciently. The substrate/reactants t in enzymes active site, react with each other to form products. Enzyme function depends on temperature and ph. Anabolic pathways: synthesis of complex molecules from simpler ones. Catabolic pathways : breakdown of complex molecules into simpler ones. Capacity to do work, supply heat: kinetic energy : energy go motion. Non polar covalent binds are high in potential energy. Polar covalent bonds are low in potential energy. Entropy : a measure of disorder, or randomness the more randomly arranged a collection of matter is, the greater its entropy. These factors together contribute to the total energy available for transfer, which is known as the gibbs free energy. A chemical reaction will tend to occur spontaneously if there is an overall loss is free energy. (g)
