AB  - OBJECTIVESAfter  studying  this  chapter,  you  should  be  able  to:State  the  first  and  second  laws  of  thermodynamics  and  understand  how  they  apply  to  biologic  systems.Explain  what  is  meant  by  the  terms  free  energy,  entropy,  enthalpy,  exergonic,  and  endergonic.Appreciate  how  reactions  that  are  endergonic  may  be  driven  by  coupling  to  those  that  are  exergonic  in  biologic  systems.Explain  the  role  of  group  transfer  potential,  adenosine  triphosphate  (ATP),  and  other  nucleotide  triphosphates  in  the  transfer  of  free  energy  from  exergonic  to  endergonic  processes,  enabling  them  to  act  as  the  “energy  currency”  of  cells.
