    1: Intro - what is life

    • 1.1: Potential Energy in Biology
      A living thing, as it grows or reproduces, assembles a very specific structure (itself!) from components found in the environment (sometimes including other forms of life).  This requires work- or more formally, energy.  This reading covers energy, energy transactions, defines G, and defines ∆G (the change in energy available to do work). It also describes a core concept for this course: the "Energy Story".
