2.A.1 All living systems require constant input of free energy.

Life requires a highly ordered system.
Order is maintained by constant free energy input into the system. Where do living things get this energy?
Loss of order or free energy flow results in death.
What is the term used to describe this loss of order?
Increased disorder and entropy are offset by biological processes that maintain or increase order.
Briefly describe these biological processes.
Living systems do not violate the second law of thermodynamics, which states that entropy increases over time.
Fill in the blank:
Order is maintained by coupling cellular processes that __________ entropy (and so have negative changes in free energy) with those that ________entropy (and so have positive changes in free energy).
Energy input must exceed free energy lost to entropy to maintain order and power cellular processes.
Use a living example to simplify this concept.
Energy input must exceed free energy lost to entropy to maintain order and power cellular processes.
Energetically favorable ___gonic reactions, such as ATP→ADP, that have a negative change in free energy can be used to maintain or increase order in a system by being coupled with reactions that have a positive free energy change.
