Equilibrium = Death
At equilibrium, forward and reverse reactions occur at the same rate; it is a state of maximum stability.
A process is spontaneous and can perform work only when it is moving toward equilibrium.

Cells are not in equilibrium; they are open systems experiencing a constant flow of materials.

How the Hydrolysis of ATP Performs Work
• The three types of cellular work (mechanical, transport, and chemical) are powered by the hydrolysis of ATP.
• In the cell, the energy from the exergonic reaction of ATP hydrolysis can be used to drive an endergonic reaction.
• Overall, the coupled reactions are exergonic.

• Will this reaction happen spontaneously? – No
• Is this reaction catabolic or anabolic?– Anabolic
• Is this reaction exergonic or endergonic?– Endergonic
Glutamic acid Phosphorylatedintermediate
ATP drives endergonic reactions by phosphorylation, transferring a phosphate group to some other molecule, such as a reactant.
