TERM 1
Change in G
DEFINITION 1
Delta G = Final G - Initial GG = Free Energy = energy
available to do workIf the resulting equation yields a
negative then this event was spontaneous BECAUSE there is
now less energy to do work.Ex: Tree energy (product) - Sun
Energy (reactant) = negative
TERM 2
Exergonic
DEFINITION 2
Energy Outward: Net Release of Free Energy and IS
spontaneous
TERM 3
Endergonic
DEFINITION 3
Energy Inward: absorbs free energy from its surroundings
and is not spontaneous.
TERM 4
ATP has high _____ energy. Why?
DEFINITION 4
Potential Energy.ATP has 4 negative charges on the 3
phosphate groups resisting each other raising their potential
energy.
TERM 5
How is the energy of ATP released?
DEFINITION 5
When the bonds are BROKEN by hydrolysis.
