1. Energy and Entropy

Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Entropy (from McKee and McKee, 2020): A measure of molecular randomness or disorder within a system. Higher entropy indicates greater disorder and more possible arrangements of molecules.

  • Energy (from McKee and McKee, 2020): The capacity to do work. It is a fundamental property of the universe and drives physical and chemical processes, including biological functions.

  • Thermodynamics (from McKee and McKee, 2020): The scientific study of energy transformations that occur during physical and chemical changes in matter. It explains how energy is conserved, transferred, and converted.

  • Bioenergetics (from McKee and McKee, 2020): A branch of thermodynamics focused on energy flow and transformation in living organisms, crucial for understanding metabolic processes.

  • Enthalpy (ΔH) (from McKee and McKee, 2020): The total heat content of a system, representing the sum of internal energy and the product of pressure and volume. It reflects heat exchange during reactions at constant pressure.
