energy Flashcards
anabolic
small molecules into larger ones
requires energy
metabolic
large molecule into smaller ones
energy is released
energy
ability to do work
1st law of thermodynamics
cannot be created for destroyed
second law of thermodynamcs
disorder is more likely than order
entropy
amount of disorder in the system
always increasing
heat energy is measured
in calories
1 calorie definition
amount of heat required to raise temp of 1 g of water by 1 C
endergonic reaction
reaction that needs input of energy
exergonic reaction
reaction that releases energy
free energy
energy available to do work
enthalpy
energy contained in a molecules chem bonds
entropy, delta s
energy due to ordering/disordering a system
does free energy say anything about the speed of reaction
no, will only say if its favorable
negative free energy (-G) relation to a reaction
favorable
activation energy
extra energy needed to start a reaction, all or nothing
