The ability to harness energy & change it into


biological work is a fundamental property of
organism.
 Organisms carry out variety of energy
transductions, conversions of one form of energy
to another.
 They use the chemical energy in fuels to
synthesis of complex, highly ordered
macromolecules from simple precursors.
 They convert the chemical energy of fuels into
concentration gradients & electrical gradients,
into motion, heat, and light (few organisms).

Bioenergetics and
Thermodynamics
Bioenergetics is the quantitative study of the
energy transductions in cells and of the
nature and function of the chemical
processes underlying these transductions.
 Bioenergetics obey the Laws of
Thermodynamics


Thermodynamics


1st law : the principle of the conservation of energy : for any


physical or chemical change, the total amount of energy in
the universe remains constant; energy may change form or it
may be transported from one region to another, but it
cannot be created or destroyed.
2nd law : the universe always tends toward increasing
disorder: in all natural processes, the entropy of the universe
increases.

3 thermodynamic quantities
1. Gibbs free energy, G
 energy capable of doing work during a
reaction at constant T & P.
 Reaction proceeds with the release of free
energy  G is negative value (exergonic).
 Reaction make the system gains free energy 
G is positive value (endergonic).
 Unit : joules/mole or calories/mole.

2. Enthalpy, H
 Heat content of the reacting system.
 It reflects the number and kinds of chemical
bonds in the reactants and products.
 Reaction releases heat  H is negative value
(exothermic).
 Systems take up heat from surroundings  H is
positive values (endothermic).
 Unit : joules/mole or calories/mole.
 1 cal = 4.184 J

3. Entropy, S
 expression for the randomness or disorder in a
system.
 Products of a reaction are less complex & more
disordered than the reactants  gain in entropy
 S is positive value.
 Unit : joules/mole.Kelvin (J/mol.K)

G = H - TS

Cells Require Sources of Free


Energy
Cells are isothermal systems.
 Heat flow is not a source of energy for cells.
 Cells can and must use is free energy.
 Cells acquire free energy from nutrient
molecules.
 Photosynthetic cells acquire it from solar
radiation.
 Cells transform free energy into ATP and
other energy-rich compounds.


Standard Free-Energy
Change
The composition of a reacting system (reactants
& products) tends to continue changing until
equilibrium is reached.
 The concentrations of reactants and products at
equilibrium define the equilibrium constant, Keq.


Standard conditions (298 K) : reactants &


products are 1 M or for gases are 101.3 kPa or 1
atm, the force driving the system toward
equilibrium is defined as the standard free-energy
change, G.
 Cells : H+ is 107 M (pH 7) & water is 55.5 M; for
reactions that involve Mg 2+, concentration is 1
mM  standard transformed constants (G
& Keq)
