Question

2. Define the following terms: a. exergonic b. endergonic c. entropy d. enthalpy e. free energy f. metabolic flux

Answer 1

Dear student,

(a) Exengonie & It is a type of reaction that releases free Chengy, because this reaction releases eneagy rather than consuming if and it can occuon spontaneously without being forced by outside factor

(b) Endergonic & The reaction that requisnes energy to be absoaked in anden for it to take place. These reactions are hot spontaneous. They requine work on an infaut fonce, often in the form of energy to get started (6) Entropy : The measure of a system's the amal energy pea unit temperature that is unavailable for doing useful work. because work is obtained from andemed molecular motion,

please give a thumbs up to this answer.

Smo. the amount of endosky is also a mens use of the molecular disondes, on randomness of a systeme d) Enthalpy & It is a thermodynamic foabenty of a system. It is - the sum of the internal energy added to the product of the pressure and volume of the system. In reflects the capacity do do non- mechanical work and the capacity to release heat. (e) Free energy & The amount of internal energy of a theamadynamic system that is available to perforum work. The face energy of a system is the sum of its enthalby flus the product of the temperature and the entroby. f) Metabolic flux? It is the rate of turnover of molecules through a metabolic pathway. Flex is regulated by the enzymes involved in a pathway,

With regards..
