M11 ENERGY TRANSFORMATION Flashcards
Is the study of the chemical substances and processes that occur in plants, animals, and microorganisms and of the changes they undergo during development and life.
Biochemistry
- focuses on how living cells often produce, store or consume ATP.
- understand how cells transfer energy in relation to processes like Respiration and Photosynthesis.
Bioenergetics
Is the process by which cells transform energy from one form to another.
Bioenergetics
In biology, it refers to the study of energy transduction that occur in a living organisms.
Thermodynamics
the act of changing energy from one form to another
Transduction
It is the part of the universe on which you focus your attention.
Systems
Includes everything else in the universe
Surroundings
Types of systems
- Open system
- Closed system
- Isolated system
It is made up of both the systems and surroundings.
Universe

Law of entropy
Flow of matter and energy changes into and out of the system is used to perform chemical and physical processes (metabolism).
Open Thermodynamic System - Cell
He developed 2nd Law of Thermodynamics
Rudolf Clausius
- Energy is neither created nor destroyed, it can only change in form.
- The quantity of energy of the universe always remain constant.
1st Law of Thermodynamics
A thermodynamic (energy) function that describes the degree of randomness or probability of existence.
Entropy
states that any spontaneously occurring process will always lead to an escalation in the entropy of the universe.
2nd Law of Thermodynamics
