I have a test on glycolysis and the energy part is so confusing! I'm so confused as to what's happening with free energy during this cellular respiration process.
According to the potential energy graph, the free energy is decreasing. (I've gathered it DOES decreases over all right)
Why is this?
I don't understand the concept of free energy in the bonds of reactants vs product and the entropy (entropy decreases when atoms are closer to an atoms nucleus?!)
I only need a fairly simple explanation with regards to endothermic + exothermic reactions. What happens to free energy of the products/reactants in each case, and something was mentioned about the more stable the bonds which results in the case of...(I don't recall)
THANKS SO MUCH
