- While walking to biochemistry class with a friend, you see the following graffiti spray painted on the wall of the science building: “When a system is in equilibrium, the Gibbs free energy is maximum.” You are disgusted, not only at the vandalism, but at the ignorance of the vandal. Your friend asks you to explain.arrow_forwardDefine entropy and enthalpy. Do living cells increase entropy within themselves? Do they increase entropy in the environment?arrow_forwardThe existence of life is dependents on bioenergetics to overcome the restrictions of thermodynamics. What does the term bioenergetics mean?
