Ethanol is one example of alternative fuels for powering our cars and trucks. Ethanol can be produced in different ways, but most often by microorganisms acting on plant materials such as corn. Advocates argue that burning ethanol would not alter the net emission of CO2 even though when ethanol is involved in combustion it produces CO2. What are the pros and cons of producing and burning ethanol?

Relating to bioenergetics: a. The equilibrium constant for a particular reaction is 6.8 x 10-5 which makes this reaction exergonic. True or False?b. All processes that occur in the universe are spontaneous and have low enough activation energies that molecules can often overcome the energy barrier. True or False?c. ATP has a highly negative free energy change in part because the negative charges on the oxygens repel each other in ATP but less so in ADP. True or False?
