Q

Give two examples of a closed system

A

when a tube is capped and heated, the matter does not escape it just changes form, but energy can still be exchanged

25
The second law of thermodynamics states
during the transformation of energy, some of this energy is lost
26
the unusable energy that is lost contributes and increases
entropy or disorder
27
disorder occurs
naturally
28
give an example of energy that is lost and can't be used
when body heat is lost; it cannot be used in cellular work
29
a spontaneous process can happen
quickly or slowly
30
a spontaneous process does not require _____, and makes things more _____.
energy, disordered
31
a hydrolysis reaction is (spontaneous/ nonspontaneous)
spontaneous
32
a dehydration reaction is (spontaneous/ nonspontaneous) )
nonspontaneous
33
Metabolism is an _______ _________.
emergent property
34
emergent property-
life that arises from orderly interactions between molecules, metabolism drives biological life
35
metabolism pathways-
starts with a molecules and ends with a prodcut
36
in the metabolism pathway, each step uses a
specific enzyme
37
the metabolism pathway maximizes _____ and ___.
efficiency and controls the reaction
38
two types of metabolic pathways are
catabolic pathways and anabolic pathways
39
catabolic pathways
releases energy by breaking down complex molecules into simpler compounds
40
catabolic pathways are
spontaneous reactions
41
cellular respiration is an example of
catabolic pahtways
42
anabolic pathways
consume energy, uses molecules and energy to create a bigger molecule
43
anabolic pathways are
nonspontaneous
44
free energy is
energy available to do cellular work
45
if the change in gibbs free energy is ____, it is spontaneous
negative
46
gibbs free energy is the tendency to change
into a more stable state
47
once at equilibrium, there is no more
gibb's free energy
48
in a spontaneous change, free energy _____ as stability of the system _____.
decreases, increases
49
If cels are at equilibrium
we die
50
cells don't allow equilibrium to occur because
Water always going in or out
51
exergonic reaction
net release of free energy, spontaneous
52
in an exergonic reaction, (reactants/ products) have more energy
reactants
53
endergonic reaction
absorbs free energy from the surroundings, nonspontaneous
54
in an endergonic reaction, (reactants/ products) have more energy
products
55
activation energy usually comes from the
surroundings, thermal absorbed energy
56
activation energy is the
initial energy needed to start a chemical reaction
57
the presence of a catalyst
lowers the activation energy so the reaction can happen faster
58
the definition of enzyme
catalytic protein
59
the definition of substrate
the reactant that the enzyme acts on
60
substrate the binding of the enzyme to the substrate forms the
enzyme-substrate complex
61
the enzyme substrate complex is a
lock and key fit
62
the lock and key fit shows that there are specific
shapes of specific enzymes
63
active site
where substrate and enzyme fit into eachother
64
induced fit
locking the substrate into place, may have to change/ reform structure.
