Potential energy
Stored energy
Heat energy
Heat
Chemical energy
Energy stored in the form of chemical bonds (stored in food)
Enzymes
Proteins
Without enzymes chemical reactions cannot take place
A+B ————-> C+D
(Reactants) (Products)
2 Factors affecting enzyme activity
Temperature
ph
Substrate concentration
Diffusion
Substances move from area of high concentration to low concentration to attain equilibrium.
Osmosis
Diffusion of water across a semi permeable membrane
Isotonic (in osmosis) (animal cells)
When 2 solutes have the same concentration
Hypotonic (in osmosis) (animal)
Solution has lower concentration of solutes
Hypertonic (in osmosis) (animal cell)
Solution with greater concentration of solutes
Turgid
(Hypotonic in plants)
Water coming in
Flaccid
Isotonic in plants
Waters going in and out
Plasmolyzed
Hypertonic in plants
Water goes out and membrane pulls away from the cell wall
