Chapter 8-Personal Outline Flashcards
_________________ the total of all chemical reaction occurring in a given organism. This property of life arises from Order.
Metabolism:
_______________: this reaction begins with a specific molecule, which is then altered in a series of defined steps, resulting in a certain product. Each step of this reaction catalyzes a specific enzyme.
Metabolic Pathway:
__________________: the breakdown pathways. A major pathway of catabolism is cellular respiration, where glucose is broken down in the presence of oxygen and water.
Catabolic pathways:
_____________________: these consume energy to build complicated molecules from simpler ones, such as the synthesis of amino acids.
Anabolic pathways:
____________________: the study of how energy flows through living organisms.
Bioenergetics:
__________________: Energy the Capacity to do work, the capacity to cause change.
Energy:
________________: the energy of motion. This type of energy can be attributed to objects moving.
Kinetic Energy:
__________________: the energy stored in the structure of something. It is present in an object that is not moving but could be moving.
Potential Energy:
___________________: the kinetic energy associated with the random movement of atoms.
Thermal Energy:
____________________: the potential energy stored in the bonds of molecules. The potential it has for a chemical reaction.
Chemical Energy:
__________________: the transfer of thermal energy from one object to another.
Heat:
____________________: the study of energy transformation that occur in matter.
Thermodynamics:
________________________: energy can be neither created nor destroyed, but it can be transferred or transferred.
First Law of Thermodynamics:
___________________: Energy processed are not 100% efficient, some energy is always lost as heat.
Second Law of Thermodynamics:
_________________: A measure of disorder, or randomness. All energy processed move toward increasing entropy.
Entropy:
