What is a metabolic pathway? - correct answer A pathway that a molecule goes through, resulting in a specific product. What is metabolism? - correct answer The totality of an organisms chemical reactions Gibbs free energy - correct answer Portion of a system that can perform work when temp and pressure are uniform throughout the system. What does a negative Delta G mean? - correct answer A process that is spontaneous/exergonic What does spontaneous mean? - correct answer Me...

bioenergetics Ans: the flow of energy in a biological system; the conversion of macronutrients into biologically usable forms of energy catabolism Ans: the breakdown of large molecules into smaller molecules catabolism Ans: associated with the release of energy anabolism Ans: synthesis of larger molecules from smaller ones exergonic reaction Ans: energy-releasing reactions that are generally catabolic endergonic reaction Ans: require energy and include anabolic processes and the con...

Describe the First and Second Laws of Thermodynamics and explain why they are important to the cellular energetics. 1st - energy cannot be created or destroyed, only change forms. • This is important because all living things need a constant energy source (the sun) 2nd - when transforming energy, some is lost as heat (10% between trophic levels) Define endergonic and exergonic reactions and describe how they are linked in cellular energetics. Endergonic - requires energy (hydrolysis; splittin...
