1) Define metabolism and describe the importance of metabolism to life. 2) Calculate the change in free energy (∆G ) for the below reaction and answer the two follow up questions: Gfinal state = 3.4 kcal/ mol and Ginitial state = 10.7 kcal/ mol Recall: ∆G = Gfinal state – Ginitial state a. Is this a spontaneous or non-spontaneous reaction? Explain. b. Is there energy released from this reaction which can be used to do work? Explain. 2) List four conditions which impact an enzymes rate of activity. Explain.

2) List four conditions which impact an enzymes rate of activity. Explain.
Introduction :
Enzymes are defined as biological polymers that catalyze various biochemical reactions. The majority of enzymes are proteins having catalytic properties. Enzymes convert the substrates into certain other molecules, which are known as products.
