Q2 M1 Forms of Energy Flashcards
Study of chemical substances
Biochemistry
Focuses on how living cells produce, store, consume ATP (respiration photosynthesis) process by which a cell transforms an energy from one form to another
Bio energetics
2 forms of energy
- Potential energy
- Kinetic Energy
2 types of potential energy
- Chemical
- Thermal
Potential energy that is found in a substance
Chemical energy
Potential energy that is stored in a substance (chemical bonds, nuclear bonds)
Thermal energy
4 types of kinetic energy
- Thermal energy
- Heat energy
- Electrical energy
- Radiant energy
Energy transduction that occur in living organism (changing energy from one form to another)
Thermodynamics
It is the branch of biochemistry that focuses on how cells transform energy, often by producing, STORING ATP
Bioenergetics
The action or process of converting something and especially energy or a message into another form
Transduction
Importance of transduction
- To generate and maintain structure
- To allow all kinds of movement
- To maintain concentration and electrical gradients across
- Homeostasis (body temp)
Energy process of photosynthesis
Light to chemical
Energy process of eye vision
Light to electrical
Energy process of the nervous system
Chemical to electrical
Energy process of muscles
Chemical to mechanical
