Document Summary

Occur anytime two or more atoms, ions, or molecules collide in such a way that they produce a new substance. Laws of thermodynamics: first law: energy can neither be created nor destroyed only converted from one form to another, second law: when converting energy from one form to another the amount of useful energy decreases. Types of chemical reactions: spontaneous: can occur without outside help (energy, non-spontaneous: can occur only with outside help (energy) Energy that is free and available to do useful work in the cell. Free energy and chemical reactions: spontaneous: release free energy (exergonic)enthalpy down entropy up, non-spontaneous: require free energy (endergonic)enthalpy up entropy down. G= h-t s: g=free energy, h=enthalpy, t=temperature (k, s=entropy (measure of disorder) Non-living: less organized: very slow lower energy. Structure: almost all are proteins, large globular proteins. Function: organic catalysts: speed up the rate of a reaction, but are not used up during the reaction, specific.
