All our reactions to people, to situations, to thoughts in our mind—are actually reactions to the kind of sensations that are arising in our body.

the difference between an exergonic and an endergonic reaction.

There are two reasons why this reaction may have biological importance. The first is that it can take place naturally, giving rise to abiotically originated hydrocarbons; the second is that the products of oxidation of alkanes can give origin to fatty acids, which are considered prebiotic membrane-forming agents.

Metabolisms are made up of hundreds of chemical reactions. Each reaction may be relatively simple: an enzyme may do nothing more than pull a hydrogen atom off a molecule, for instance. But that molecule is then ready to be grabbed by another enzyme that will rework it in another way, and so on through a chain of reactions that can become hideously

You may remember from school the difference between an exergonic and an endergonic reaction. In the first case, you constantly need to add energy to keep the process going. In the second case, the reaction, once triggered, continues by itself and even releases energy.

In the body, there is no such thing as a ‘bio-chemical reaction’, there are only ‘electro-bio-chemical reactions’.

In the simplest terms, the equation shows us that higher temperatures lead to faster reaction rates because the molecules of the reactants involved have more energy.
