Is catabolism usually convergent or divergent?
Convergent.
Is anabolism usually convergent or divergent?
Divergent.
Which bond in ATP has more energy? Phosphoester or phosphoanhydride?
The phosphoanhydride bonds (between alpha and beta, and between beta and gamma) have higher energy than the phosphoester bond (between the alpha phosphate and ribose).
What is redox potential?
The affinity of a substance for electrons.

Electronegative substances have high affinity (positive redox potential!)

Electropositive substances have low affinity (negative redox potential)
Enthalpy (H)
The sum of internal energy of matter (kinetic + potential E)
Entropy
Measurement of disorder in the system.
What is the equation for Gibb's free energy?
G= H- TS (in deltas!)
In terms of enthalpy and entropy, in which direction will a reaction proceed?
A reaction will proceed in the direction which minimizes its enthalpy, and maximizes entropy.
What is the ration of [P]/[R] in standard state for the change in Gibb's free energy?

What is the slope when the system is in equilibrium?
1

In equilibrium, the slope is 0.
The free energy for a mixture of substance is always lower than that of either pure substances.
yes
What is the equation for the change in Gibb's energy based on deltaG at STP?
deltaG= delta G (STP) + RT ln[P]/[R]
