organic reactions, and environmental and biological examples
Hey did Lavelle mention any biological applications in lecture concerning thermodynamics? I know the outline mentions ATP hydrolysis but I don't know if he mentions anything else.

Re: organic reactions, and environmental and biological examples
I don't remember any examples he gave in lecture, but in the other topic about the environment and fossil fuels, which is also under Thermodynamics, he talks about how burning wood, natural gas, and other resources are exothermic and therefore used as energy sources. They also cause acid rain.
Re: organic reactions, and environmental and biological examples
Thermodynamics are relevant in biological processes that need to use energy, like photosynthesis (an endothermic reaction). There is also complicated research on entropy and its relationship to the evolution of life.

Re: organic reactions, and environmental and biological examples
I don’t think any biological examples were covered distinctly, but I know lavelle incorporates real world examples in almost everything he mentions in lecture. As described before, he talked about organic molucules and natural reactions to demonstrate concepts like heat transfer and enthalpy

Re: organic reactions, and environmental and biological examples
I think he talked about biological examples with glycolysis/ cellular respiration and energy production
