Bio Chapter 5 Flashcards
The capacity to perform work / cause change
Energy
The energy of motion
Kinetic Energy
energy that is stored
Potential Energy
The **energy takes the form of muscle movement propelling the diver to the top of the platform
Kinetic
The energy contained by water behind a dam and energy stored by water behind a dam and energy stored by a compressed spring is an example of what kind of energy?
Potential
The principle that energy can neither be created nor destroyed
Conversion of Energy
Energy can be changed from one form to another; however it cannot be created or destroyed
First Law of Thermodynamics
Can an object at rest have energy?
Yes, potential energy because of location and structure
What type of energy is heat?
Kinetic
A product of all energy conversions are?
Heat energy
Which form of energy is most randomized an difficult to put to work?
Heat
A measure of disorder, or randomness is known as?
Entropy
What form of energy is chemical energy classified as?
Potential
Energy that is stored in chemical bonds of molecules is known as?
Chemical Energy
the energy-releasing chemical breakdown of fuel molecules and the storage of that energy in a form the cell can use to perform work
Cellular Respiration
the amount of energy that raises the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree celsius
A calorie (cal)
T/F- A peanut has about 5 Calories; enough to increase temp of 1kg (little more than a quart) of water by 5 degrees celsius
True
used to weigh food items on the shelf; known as a kilocalorie (1,000 calories)
Calorie
Passive movement of solutes across a membrane down their concentration gradients with the involvement of membrane proteins describes what process?
Facilitated Diffusion
How do enzymes affect activation energy?
Enzymes lower the amount of energy required to activate a chemical reaction
You decide to try your at canning pickles. You immerse freshly picked cucumbers in a solution that has a solute concentration twice that found in the cucumber cells. You allow your preparation to cure for several months in a sealed jar.When you later open the jar, you find that the fluid surrounding the pickles is more dilute than when you started. This change in concentration is due to?
Is the substance hypertonic, hypotonic, or isotonic?
pickles in a hypertonic solution losing water through osmosis
Which part of a reaction is changed by an enzyme?
The activation energy
Why are enzymes so critical to cell functioning?
Enzymes enable and regulate cellular reactions
