Biology 100 Unit 5 Flashcards
Energy is defined as
the capacity to do work
All organisms require _________ as a part of their _________ to stay alive
energy; metabolism
Energy is obtain either through __________ or ________________
photosynthesis; ingested food
Energy can be neither ___________ nor _____________
created; destroyed
Energy in motion is called
kinetic energy
an example of kinetic energy. The random movement of molecules.
Heat
Stored energy
potential energy
is an example of potential energy, food storage in chemical bonds of molecules
chemical energy
What does the first law of Thermodynamics say
“neither matter nor energy can be created or destroyed but it can be transferred and transformed.”
Glucose being broken down from one form to another is an example of
the first law of thermodynamics
What does the second law of thermodynamics say
“energy is not 100% efficient”
Energy has a tendancy to head toward a state of
more entropy
entropy is
disorder
Some energy is always lost as
heat
The following reaction is a reaction found in ________________ :
octane(gas) + O2-> CO2+H2O+ENERGY
automobiles
the energy conversion process in cells is called
cellular respiration
ATP is
adenosine triphosphate
ATP consists of
adenosine and three phosphate groups
ATP is broken down into
ADP
this is the chemical reaction for _________:
ATP-> ADP +energy
ATP broken down into ADP
ATP can energize other molecules by transferring
phosphate groups
The phosphate groups from ATP can be used in
chemical reactions, mechanical work, and transport
What is the phosphate transfer chemical reaction for the ATP’S USE OF ENERGY
ATP-> Energy+ADP+P
What is the phosphate transfer chemical reaction for ATP’s storage of ENERGY
ADP+Energy+P-> ATP
the sum total of all chemical reactions in an organism
metabolism
are proteins that facilitate cellular reactions
enzymes
What 2 things do enzymes do
- trigger reactions to occur
- turn of existing reactions
All chemical reactions involve
energy transfer
energy required for a chemical reaction to occur
activation energy
