    Study Notes

    Understanding Free Energy and Its Role in Biochemical Reactions

    • Free-energy change (ΔG) for a chemical reaction can be calculated using the equation ΔG = ΔH - TΔS, where ΔH is the change in enthalpy, ΔS is the change in entropy, and T is the absolute temperature in Kelvin.
    • ΔG value is dependent on conditions such as pH, temperature, and concentrations of reactants and products.
    • Processes with a negative ΔG are spontaneous, and only these processes are observed in nature.
    • Spontaneous processes result in a decrease in the system's free energy, which can be harnessed by the cell to perform work.
    • ΔG represents the difference between the free energy of the final and initial states, and a negative ΔG indicates a loss of free energy and increased stability in the final state.
    • Free energy serves as a measure of a system's instability and tendency to change to a more stable state.
    • Equilibrium is a state of maximum stability, and systems at equilibrium have the lowest possible free energy.
    • Systems never spontaneously move away from equilibrium, and a system at equilibrium cannot perform work.
    • Chemical reactions are classified as exergonic (release of free energy) or endergonic (absorption of free energy) based on their free-energy changes.
    • Exergonic reactions occur spontaneously due to the release of free energy.
    • Free energy is harnessed to perform work in spontaneous changes, such as gravitational motion and diffusion.
    • Understanding free energy is crucial in the study of metabolism to determine which reactions can supply energy for cellular work.

    Understanding Entropy and Biological Order

    • Entropy refers to the increase in disorder in a system, illustrated by the decay of an unmaintained building over time.
    • The concept of entropy helps explain energetically favorable processes and spontaneous vs. nonspontaneous processes.
    • Living systems increase the entropy of their surroundings, as predicted by thermodynamic law.
    • Despite increasing entropy, cells create ordered structures from less organized starting materials through various biological processes.
    • Energy flows into ecosystems in the form of light and exits as heat, contributing to the overall increase in entropy.
    • The increase in biological order over time does not violate the second law of thermodynamics; organisms are islands of low entropy in an increasingly random universe.
    • The physical disintegration of a system’s organized structure is a good analogy for an increase in entropy.
    • Biological processes convert chemical energy to kinetic energy, increasing disorder by producing heat and less ordered forms of matter.
    • Some spontaneous processes, such as an explosion, may be virtually instantaneous, while others, such as the rusting of an old car over time, are much slower.
    • The depletion of chemical energy in organisms is accounted for by heat generated during metabolism.
    • The evolution of biological order is consistent with the laws of thermodynamics.
    • Gibbs free energy, symbolized by G, is a useful function that measures the portion of a system’s energy that can perform work when temperature and pressure are uniform throughout the system.

    • Free energy is harnessed to perform work in spontaneous changes, such as gravitational motion and diffusion.
    • Understanding free energy is crucial in the study of metabolism to determine which reactions can supply energy for cellular work.

    Bystander Intervention and Scientific Inquiry

    • Katerine, a 17-year-old Canadian girl, was severely beaten and left half-naked in a Montreal parking lot on May 12, 2001, and remained in a coma for hours, ignored by pedestrians and employees at a nearby call center.
    • The call center employees were told not to assist Katerine by their supervisor, and she remained in a coma for months with no bystander assistance.
    • The chapter explores the psychological puzzle of bystander intervention and questions why bystanders sometimes fail to intervene, even when there is little personal risk involved.
    • The scientific method is an approach to asking and answering questions about the universe around us, distinguishing science from other approaches such as reason, intuition, and common sense.
    • Psychologists took longer to adopt the scientific method for behavioral science due to the intangible nature of the subject matter, compared to the physical sciences.
    • Curiosity, skepticism, and open-mindedness are driving forces behind scientific inquiry, and scientists must remain open-minded to conclusions supported by facts, even if they refute their beliefs.
    • Following the Kitty Genovese murder, psychology professors Darley and Latané investigated the bystander apathy explanation and reasoned that the presence of multiple bystanders produced a diffusion of responsibility, decreasing personal responsibility for intervening.
    • The scientific process involves identifying a question of interest, gathering information and forming a hypothesis, testing the hypothesis by conducting research, analyzing the data, and drawing conclusions.
    • Darley and Latané's research illustrates the basic steps of the scientific process, examining bystander intervention and factors that increase or decrease the likelihood of bystanders intervening.
    • The steps in the scientific process involve identifying a question of interest, gathering information and forming a hypothesis, testing the hypothesis by conducting research, and analyzing the data to draw conclusions.
    • The scientific process involves identifying a question of interest, gathering information and forming a hypothesis, testing the hypothesis by conducting research, analyzing the data, and drawing conclusions.
