A community involves interactions among different__________? species
a ingle chemical bond represents the sharing of how many electrons? 2
why do buffers resist pH changes? because they change from ionic to nonionic in response to changes in pH and release or absorb H+

If delta G is negative free energy is released
If delta G is positive free energy is consumed
how does the 2nd law of thermodynamics apply to organisms? to maintain order life requires a constant input of energy.
a readily reversible reaction , in which reactants and products have almost the same free energies is indicated by a delta G near 0
the state at which the bonds of reactants are unstable transition state
the presence of a catalyst affects the free energy of the transition state
what determines the rate of the reaction? the activation energy
