It's a state function, so we're at constant temperature and pressure, and now we want to consider some chemical change or a phase transition or you name it.

这就是态函数，我们处于恒定的温度和压强之下，然后考虑某些化学变化或者相变,或者你想考虑的东西。

If you were to make that change you would find that the molecule now has completely different biological and chemical properties.

如果要做出这样的变化,你会发现,分子的生物形状,和化学性质完全改变了。

That tells us the direction of spontaneous change for ordinary processes, chemical processes, mixing and you name it, under conditions that are easy to achieve in the lab.

这个物理量告诉我们在实验室,能够实现的条件下通常的过程，化学过程，混合以及你所能想到的过程，自发进行的方向。

Hess' Law states that for any chemical reaction, the energy change is path independent.

盖斯定律表明，对于任意化学反应，能量变化并非是路径依赖的。

Another is how much it's processed and how if you take things that started out as food like wheat or corn, and then they're processed many different ways, and things are added to them or done to them that change their chemical properties, does that affect whether we would consider them food?

另一个是它们被加工过程和程度,比如对于用来食用的麦子和玉米,有很多种加工方式,可以向它们添加一些东西,或进行一些加工去改变它们的化学性质,这会影响我们去判断它们是否为食品吗

So the access that a cell has to certain kinds of genes, or chemical modifications of DNA, not chemical modifications that change the base pairs, that would be a mutation.

因此细胞变化的途径应该是对某些基因,或者DNA进行化学修饰,不是更改碱基对,更改碱基对就是突变了

This completely could change if you were to flip from one to the other conformation which can happen in chemical reactions.

在化学反应中,它们的形状,可以从一种折叠成另外一种。
