Summary Introduction
Introduction: Energy is necessary for all living organisms to perform their life processes. Living cells obtain energy in different forms, and they also have the mechanisms to alter energy from one form to another form. They need energy to grow, develop, and maintain.

- While walking to biochemistry class with a friend, you see the following graffiti spray painted on the wall of the science building: “When a system is in equilibrium, the Gibbs free energy is maximum.” You are disgusted, not only at the vandalism, but at the ignorance of the vandal. Your friend asks you to explain.arrow_forwardThe molecule can absorb heat from the environment without changing its chemical structure, as will occur when there is a local temperature increase. The molecule will have a higher energy. If the increase in energy is above KT (i.e., the entire environment has not increased its temperature), the molecule will come to thermal equilibrium with the environment around it, and return to its original energy state. Which one of the following is example to this? Select one: a. The absorbance of radiant energy by Melanin pigment in the skin. b. Conversion of 11-cis form of retinal to the all-trans form of retinal upon exposure to light, with a maximum absorbance at 500 nm. c. Thymine-thymine and thymine-cytosine pyrimidine bridges formation upon exposure of DNA to UV-B radiation. d. The translucent to opaque conversion of egg whites when cooked by increasing the temperature.arrow_forwardDefine potential energy and kinetic energy and provide two specific examples of each. Explain how one form of energy can be converted into another. Will some energy be lost during this conversion? If so, what form will it take?arrow_forward
- A muscle can be thought of as a fuel cell, producing work from themetabolism of glucose: C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 +6H2O Use the concept of entropy to explain why the heat flows in the direction it does.arrow_forwardImagine you are working in a lab, and you are performing two chemical reactions. You notice that Reaction A occurs much faster than Reaction B, and that both reactions release the same amount of heat. Which of the following conclusions can be made from your observation? Reaction A has the same activation energy as Reaction B, and the AG of Reaction A is more negative (i.e., a larger negative number) than the AG for Reaction B. Reaction A has a lower activation energy than Reaction B, and the AG of Reaction A is the same as the AG of Reaction B. Reaction A has a higher activation energy than Reaction B, and the AG of Reaction A is the same as the AG of Reaction B. Reaction A has the same activation energy as Reaction B, and the AG of Reaction A is less negative (i.e., a smaller negative number) than the AG for Reaction B.arrow_forwardLabel the following statements true or false: (c) A nonspontaneous reaction will proceed spontaneously in the reverse direction. (d) A spontaneous process can occur with a large decrease in entropy.arrow_forward
- Define the following terms. (i) Rate constant (k) (ii) Activation energy (Ea)arrow_forwardNaCl (s) -> NaCI (aq) is accompanied by an increase in entropy because [Select] [Select] a solute was dissolved in water, forming a solution the number of products is greater than the number of reactants the phase change from vaporization is towards a higher internal energyarrow_forwardChemistry (True / False) A researcher speculates that an enzyme has the following energy profile and that it is a reasonable profile given what we know about enzyme behavior. Enzyme bound to Substrate: -7.00 kcal/mol Enzyme bound to Product: -10.00 kcal/mol Enzyme in transition state: -5.00 kcal/mol Why would the answer be false?arrow_forward
- Why is it not enough to just rely on either thermodynamic data alone ... Or kinetic (rate of reaction) data alone to predict the possible occurrence of a chemical reaction?arrow_forwardWhich of the following is a description of an example of the second law of thermodynamics? Some chemical energy in glucose transforms to chemical energy in ATP. O The kinetic energy of wind turns the blades of a wind turbine. The chemical energy in gasoline is transformed to kinetic energy to drive a car. The mechanical energy of flowing water turns a turbine. Some chemical energy in gasoline is transformed to heat while driving a car.arrow_forwardDespite the thermal stability of covalent bonds in physiological systems, some of these bonds are sensitive to energy input from external sources. The molecule can absorb heat from the environment without changing its chemical structure, as will occur when there is a local temperature increase. If the increase in energy is above kT (i.e., the entire environment has not increased its temperature), the molecule will come to thermal equilibrium with the environment around it, and return to its original energy state. Which one of the following physiological process is example to this? Select one : a. Absorbance of light by 11-cis-retinal. b. Translucent to opaque conversion of egg whites after cooking. C.
