18
Q

Exergonic

A

Proceeds with net release off free E and is spontaneous

19
Q

When G > 0 then its

A

Endergonic

20
Q

Endergonic

A

Absorbs free E from its surrounding tons and is NON-spontaneous

21
Q

How do cells increase order

A

Reactions are coupled

22
Q

If two systems change in a coupled fashion,

A

the net free E change of the combines systems determines f the reaction will proceed.

23
Q

What is considered the lowest grade of energy

24
Q

Heat increases the

A

Random, unordered movement of molecules

25
Heat is difficult to store or harness to do work, so its only useful it its
Concentrated
26
What increases in a chemical reaction ?
Entropy
27
Systems tend to move towards an increase in
Entropy
28
More order,
Lower entropy
29
Less order
Higher entropy
30
Order and entropy are
Inversed variables
31
_______ in the universe is always increasing
Entropy
32
E is required for ______in living things, but ______ still increases
Energy, entropy
33
Systems with higher free energy have
Complex, organized, non-random and low entropy
34
Systems with low free energy are
Disorganized, random, and high entropy (less E for work)
35
Formula for calculating G (free energy)
G = H = TS
36
Entropy symbol
S
37
If free energy and enthalpy are both (-) and everything else (+), then
- Energetically favourable - entropically favourable - spontaneous
38
If temp and entropy (-) and energy thing else (+), then
- energetically unfavourable - entropically unfavourable - NON-spontaneous
39
Free energy being (+/-) when everything else positive, then
- energetically unfavourable - entropically favourable - spontaneous at high T
40
Free energy is (-/+), enthalpy, temp, entropy are both (-), then
- energetically favourable - entropically favourable - spontaneous at low temp
41
Enthalpy
Total potential energy in system
42
Negative G =
Spontaneous reaction
43
Spontaneous
Change that does not require a net increase in energy
