Chapter 6 Explain what free energy is and how it can be used to predict the energetic outcome of chemical reactions.Free energy is defined as the energy available to do work in any system. The free energy is denoted by the symbol G. G = H – TS* H: the energy contained in a molecule’s chemical bonds‚ called enthalpy.* TS: the energy term related to the degree of disorder in the system. T is the absolute temperature (K)‚ and S is the entropy.We can use the change in free energy to predict whether

Background Theory Photosynthesis: Plants require water from the soil‚ sunlight and carbon dioxide found in the atmosphere for growth and development. In the process of photosynthesis‚ carbon dioxide and water – in the presence of chlorophyll and light energy – are converted into sugar and oxygen‚ which is given off as a by-product. Generally‚ as sunlight increases in intensity‚ the rate of photosynthesis also increases [1]. This means greater food production within the plant. Many garden vegetables

Week #1 -autotrophs are organisms that harvest light or chemical energy in organic compounds. They self nutrition -heterotrophs are organisms that get complex nutrients from the environment (by eating other organisms) -Fungi are heterotrophs or predators because they are parasitic. Bread mold secretes digestive enzymes to enter the membrane. Same as foot fungus‚ it extends hyphae (fungal branches) into the cells to absorbs nutrients -One fungus makes traps for nematode worms while another fungus
