Summary Introduction

Introduction:

Thermodynamics is the investigation of energy transformations that accompany physical and chemical changes in matter. Those energy transformations thatoccur inside the living organism are studied under bioenergetics. The thermodynamic properties include enthalpy, work, entrop, ynd free energy. Some of these properties are state functions thatonly depend upon the initial and final states, and not upon the whole path involved.
