Kinetic and potential energy/ chemical energy/laws of thermodynamics Flashcards
kinetic energy
energy associated with movement
potential energy
energy is stored
Relationship between potential energy and strong bonds
The stronger the bond the less potential energy it has stored
Relationship between stable bonds and potential energy
The more stable a bond is the less potential energy it has
The chemical structure of ATP
- adenosine: base adenosine
- 5 carbon sugar ribose
- 3 phosphate group
The first law of thermodynamics
energy can not be created or destroyed
The second law of thermodynamics
the amount of disorder increases when energy is transformed
Entropy
is the degree of disorder
Effect of carbon dioxide in an enviorment?
Turns the environment acidic because more H+ protons are released
In an exergonic reaction
- G= negative
- Spontaneous reaction
- Products have more free energy then the reactants
Enthalpy
the total energy available
In chemical reactions if products have shorter, stronger covalent bonds than the reactants
- the potential energy in the bonds decreases
- the change in energy turns to light/heat
Energy coupling
The use of an exergonic reaction to fuel an endergonic reaction
1. endergonic reaction
2. exergonic process (ATP hydrolysis)
3. End with a negative kcal
ADP; energy donor or acceptor
energy acceptor
ATP; energy donor or acceptor
energy donor
