Energy is neither created nor destroyed, but what about free energy? Where does that fit into thermodynamics? In the video, learners explore simple the spontaneous reaction examples of enthalpy, entropy, and temperature, and then apply them to Gibbs free energy reaction. Free energy is then applied to cellular respiration and photosynthesis.
