Q

What is the enthalpy H?

A

Measure of total energy of a thermodynamic system

17
Q

Positive change in H

A

Heat absorbing endothermic reactions

18
Q

Negative change in enthalpy H?

A

Heat-releasing exothermic reactions

19
Q

The second law of thermodynamics

A

The total entropy of a system plus of its surroundings always increases

20
Q

entropy

A

measure of the disorder or randomness of a system
e.g. when ice melts

21
Q

free energy (G)

A

measure of spontaneity for a system

22
Q

change in free energy<0

A

reaction will proceed as written - exergonic

23
Q

change in free energy>0

A

reaction will proceed in reverse - endergonic

24
Q

Where the energy is stored in ATP?

A

in the bonds between phosphate groups

25
Q

4 essential needs of the cell

A

molecular building blocks for biosynthesis
chemical catalysts called enzymes
information to guide all its activities
energy to drive the various reactions and processes
