It explains key concepts such as reaction rates, activation energy, reaction mechanisms, the transition state, and how these factors, alongside thermodynamic principles like enthalpy, entropy, and Gibbs free energy, dictate reaction spontaneity and equilibrium.

Energy is required by most complex metabolic pathways (often in the form of adenosine triphosphate, ATP), especially those responsible for building large molecules from smaller compounds, and life itself is an energy-driven process. Living organisms would not be able to assemble macromolecules (proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, and complex carbohydrates) from their monomeric subunits without a constant energy input.

The First Law states that energy is conserved and transferred, while the Second Law introduces entropy, which always increases, making energy less available for work. Although local decreases in entropy can occur, the universe’s total entropy must always rise.
