Gibbs energy change, ΔG
ΔG = ΔH - TΔS
ΔG is the only criterion of spontaneous
processes
ΔG < 0: the process is spontaneous
(exergonic)
ΔG > 0: the process is not spontaneous
(endergonic)
ΔG = 0: the process is in equilibrium

processes in the
organism
Exergonic processes:
glycolysis, fatty acid oxidation, ATP
hydrolysis
Endergonic processes:
synthesis of glucose, fatty acids,
proteins, ATP
Exergonic and endergonic processes are
conjugated, i.e. …
