Gibbs Free Enegy

This week in AP Biology we talked about Gibbs Free Energy. Gibbs Free Energy is a bit confusing, but after a while you start getting the hang of it (I don't know it well enough to explain it very well). Free Energy is very important in the universe. Without Free Energy, then nothing would be the same and our body wouldn't be able to function as quickly as it does now. Another thing we talked about in class is enzymes. Enzymes are simply proteins that speed up reactions. If we didn't have enzymes then it would take years and years and years to even digest the simplest things. Another thing we talked about is metabolism. A metabolism is the chemical processes that occur within a living organism in order to maintain life. Without any of these things, our body would not be able to function as well as it does now.
