Step 1

Gibbs free energy equation- this is a free energy differential that affects whether or not a reaction is spontaneous. It is symbolised by AG; if AG is (-), the reaction will be spontaneous and exothermic, but if AG is (+), the reaction will be non-spontaneous and endothermic. The reaction is at equilibrium if the value is 0.
Biochemical reactions in the cell are frequently influenced by the reactants and products produced. Depending on the cell's requirements, several chemicals are created or eliminated.
