Document Summary

Chapter 6: an introduction to energy, enzymes, and metabolism. The energy in chemical bonds is a form of potential energy called chemical energy. Energy cannot be created or destroyed: second law. Transfer of energy from one form to another increases entropy (degree of disorder) Portion of a systems energy that can perform work. Total energy = usable energy + unusable energy. Can"t be used to do work, used to increase entropy. G = h - t s. Exergonic: g<0 or negative free energy change, energy is used or released, spontaneous. Endergonic: g>0 or positive free energy change, requires addition of free energy, not spontaneous. Atp in the cell: (in a test tube) when atp is hydrolyzed, energy is released (not useful) (in the cell) the energy from atp hydrolysis is usually coupled to an endergonic process. If total free energy change is negative, the two reactions will occur.
