Study Notes
Thermodynamics and Reactions
- Gibbs free energy is more likely negative when the reaction is spontaneous.
- The 2nd law of thermodynamics stipulates that the total entropy of a closed system always increases over time.
Enzymatic Reactions
- An enzymatic reaction will most likely proceed if the substrate binds to the active site of the enzyme.
- Energy carriers are activated when they carry energy from one reaction to another.
Gibbs Free Energy
- Gibbs free energy is negative when the reaction is spontaneous and favorable.
- ΔG indicates the change in Gibbs free energy.
Metabolism
- In Catabolism, molecules are broken down to release energy, whereas in Anabolism molecules are built up to store energy.
Activated Carriers
- ATP, NADH, and FADH2 are activated carriers.
Equilibrium
- Equilibrium refers to a state where the rates of forward and reverse reactions are equal.
Enzymes
- Enzymes act as biological catalysts to speed up chemical reactions in living organisms.
