So what they do is, they're describing how these thermodynamic properties change, in terms of only state functions and state variables.

他们的作用是描述,随着状态函数和状态变量的变化，系统的热力性质如何变化。

So now let's go around the cycle and just compare notes on what happens to the thermodynamic quantities as we do that.

现在让我们推导一下这个循环,比较一下这个过程中,热力学性质的变化。

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。
