1) When you increase the temperature in a system, enzymes have a habit of denaturing. Explain what is happening in relation to the Gibbs Free Energy Equation: ΔG = ΔH – TΔS. Remember, in order to maintain a highly ordered system, energy needs to be used for maintenance. If the free energy decreases, then spontaneous reactions occur.

First Define:
ΔG:
ΔH:
ΔS:
T:

Explain:

2) As you get older, your mitochondrial DNA mutates which means that your energy production will decrease. Using the Gibbs Free Energy Equation: ΔG = ΔH – TΔS, please explain old age.
