Biomedical Importance • Biologic systems are Isothermic The chemical energy is used to power living processes. • Starvation =Depletion of energy reserves. • Marasmus=Energy imbalance. • Obesity=Excess storage of energy. • Free Energy (Δ G)= Portion of total energy change in a system that is free to do work.
Biologic systems Conform to the general laws of Thermodynamics • First law: The total energy of a system,including its surroundings,remains constant. • Second Law: The total Entropy(Randomness) of a system must increase if a processe is to occur spontaneously. The two laws are expressed as: ∆G = Δ H – TΔ S (1) Δ H = Change in Enthalpy (heat). T =Absolute temperature. In Biochemical reactions ΔH =ΔE The two laws in Biochemical reactions are expressed as: Δ G = Δ E –TΔ S (2)
Exergonic Reaction: Δ G is Negative • Endergonic Reaction: Δ G is Positive • In Equilibrium: Δ G = 0 • If Reactants are at a concentration of 1 mol/L Δ G is termed The Standard free energy Change (ΔG°).Δ • When Biochemical reactions occur in the standard state (PH=7) the standard free energy change is then termed ΔG°´. ΔG°´= -RT ln K´eq (3) K´eq=Equilibrium constant R = Gas Constant
ENDERGONIC Processes Proceed by Coupling to EXERGONIC Processes • Exergonic Reactions Refer to CATABOLISM. • Endergonic Reactions mainly describe ANABOLISM. • Catabolism + Anabolism = Metabolism

High-Energy Phosphates play A Central Role in Energy Capture And Transfer
The Intermediate Value for the Free Energy Hydrolysis of ATP has Important Bioenergetic Significance
High Energy-Phosphates act as the ENERGY CURRENCY of the cell
