Gibbs Free Energy

Mr. Andersen explains Gibbs Free Energy, focusing on making it understandable, especially in biology. He discusses spontaneous reactions, enthalpy, and entropy, using examples like a ball rolling, diffusion, and a cherry bomb. The video covers cellular respiration and photosynthesis, highlighting exergonic and endergonic reactions. It concludes with the role of ATP in energy conversion, emphasizing the importance of energy from the sun.
