Document Summary

Energy is the capacity to do work. Can come in many form and can change forms. When energy changes form, there is less available for work. Chemical reactions - reactants transformed into products, which involves energy transformations. Result in an increase or decrease in the amount of energy available to fo work. If products contain less free energy than the reactants, free energy is released. Atp hydrolysis to adp+pi (inorganic phosphate) is exergonic. If the product contains more free energy than the reactions, free energy is gained. Reaction rate (or reaction kinetics) is independent of reaction spontaneity. Coupling exergonic and endergonic reactions will drive the endergonic reaction forward. Enzymes decrease the amount of energy needed for a reaction to proceed. Reactants may change shape when they bind to enzyme, which strains bond energy. Each step is typically catalyzed by a single unique enzyme. Break down molecules and store energy in atp.
