New cards

Define gibbs free energy

the energy within a system that can be released when a reaction occurs

2
New cards

When is a process favoured?

  • if it causes an increase in entropy

  • if it causes a decrease in enthalpy

3
New cards

Define equilibrium

the point at which a system contains the lowest gibbs free energy

4
New cards

Why is the energy derived from conversion of ATP to ADP and Pi so stable?

because it takes place far from equilibrium
