Kin 101: Chapter 4 Flashcards
What does Respiration mean?
Double check slide show
It refers to the human metabolism
Thermodynamics 1
Law of the Conservation of Energy
Energy
Gives the ability to preform work
Thermodynamics 2
The physical process is irreversible, the entropy of the system and the environment must increase; the final entropy must be greater than the initial entropy
Transport Work
moving particles and concentration gradients
Chemical Work
Making and breaking chemical bonds
Mechanical Work
Contract muscles, moving organelles, changing cell shape, beating cilia + flagella
Forms of Energy
Kinetic and Potential
Reaction Rates (what to they take into account)
Change in the [reactions] or [products] per unit in time
How do Chemical Reactions use energy
Reactions transform potential energy into kinetic energy for growth, and maintenance
Types of Reactions
Combination
Decomposition
Single replacement
Double replacement
Slide 10
Activation Energy
The amount of energy needed in order to start a reaction
Free Energy
Potential energy stored in chemical bonds
Net Free Energy
Change determines reaction reversibility
Condensation
Is a combination: where gas has cooled back into a liquid form. An example is a glass of ice-cold soda sitting outside on a hot summer day.
Endergonic
Absorbing energy in the form of work
Hydrolysis
Is decomposition; dissolving a salt of a weak acid or base in water
Excergonic
Releasing energy in the form of work
Enzyme
Active/binding site interacts with a substrate to accelerate process from substrate to product. They can be used again and released back into the environment.
Isoenzymes
A group of enzymes that catalyze the same reaction but have different enzyme forms and catalytic efficiencies (lactate)
Affects on Enzymes
Activated, inactivated, or Modulated
