【Course Objectives】

In this course, students will learn the concept of energy, the flow of energy in biological systems, as well as how energy is acquired and expended. Students will gain an understanding regarding what conditions must be fulfilled for a reaction to occur. Reaction rate will also be discussed.

【Course Contents】

To begin the course, the concepts of energy and work will be introduced, and The Law of Energy Conservation (The First Law of Thermodynamics) will be explained.
Next, the concept of entropy will be introduced (The Second Law of Thermodynamics).
The goal is to enable students to determine which direction chemical reactions are likely to proceed and to find out how much energy they expend or produce (net change in Gibbs energy).
Utilizing this way of thinking, the energy acquisitions and expenditures resulting from various biological reactions will be discussed.
Next, the concept of electrochemical potential difference of ions will be discussed, which is one of the key concepts of bioenergetics.
Students will also learn about the rates of chemical reactions as well as the enzyme reactions.
